Geneva, 19 May 2025 – A significant new partnership has been established between the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) and Unitaid, aimed at bolstering the production of essential health products within Africa. This collaboration seeks to ensure equitable access to vital medicines, diagnostics, and medical oxygen across the continent, addressing critical health challenges faced by many African nations.
The agreement was signed during the World Health Assembly, highlighting the commitment of both organizations to improve health outcomes in Africa. This initiative is particularly timely, as many countries continue to grapple with the impacts of health crises and the ongoing need for robust healthcare systems.
By focusing on local production, the partnership aims to reduce dependency on external sources, thereby enhancing the sustainability of health product availability. This strategic move is expected to empower local manufacturers and strengthen the healthcare infrastructure, ultimately leading to better health security for communities throughout Africa.
