About this listen

This week on Africa Health Weekly, we cover three major health stories shaping the continent's public health landscape. A deadly Rift Valley Fever outbreak is spreading across West Africa with over 400 cases reported in Mauritania and Senegal. The mpox crisis continues to strain health systems across Africa, with surveillance collapsing in conflict-affected regions of the DRC. And in a major breakthrough, South Africa becomes the first African nation to approve lenacapavir, a twice-yearly injectable that could revolutionize HIV prevention.

Plus, we highlight innovation at the Galien Africa Prize, Tunisia's plans for a fully digital hospital, and the ongoing maternal health crisis in Sierra Leone.

Stay tuned as we bring Africa’s health stories to life, one week at a time.
