The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, emphasized the significant advancements that the African continent has made in health. However, he also issued a warning about the substantial challenges that still persist.
Ghebreyesus pointed out that these challenges have been exacerbated by a 40% cut in official development assistance, which could impact African countries' ability to maintain and expand their health infrastructures.
