This week's conversation dives into the implications of the US's withdrawal from WHO and the halting of USAID funding. Our guest, Dr. Catherine Kyobutungi, shares her insights on the disbelief surrounding these actions, the false narratives that have emerged regarding aid, and the responses (or lack thereof) from African leaders. The discussion emphasizes the need for a critical reevaluation of global health systems and the dependency on aid, framing it as both a challenge and an opportunity for change. In this conversation, Catherine Kyobutungi discusses the complexities of African leadership, the nuances of aid dependency, and the need for accountability in health systems. She emphasizes the importance of rethinking health priorities, balancing infectious and non-communicable diseases, and the role of civil society in demanding accountability from governments.
