The COVID-19 pandemic revealed stark inequalities in the global health architecture. As the virus spread, a handful of mostly wealthy countries proved to have the money, the private sector relationships, and the power to be first in line for vaccines, treatments and supplies — and global health institutions struggled to even the playing field.
Health leaders on the African continent have taken that lesson to heart, and one institution at the forefront of a new vision for African health security is the Africa Centers for Disease Control. Raj Kumar, editor in chief of Devex, spoke to Dr. Ahmed Ogwell Ouma, second in command at Africa CDC, about how the continent’s quest for greater self-reliance is unfolding — and what a more regional approach to preparing for pandemics might look like.
