Dar es Salaam. As Africa grapples with a cascade of health shocks, from infectious disease outbreaks to climate-induced emergencies, the World Health Organization (WHO) has said governments must substantially increase domestic health financing, warning that the era of heavy reliance on external aid is rapidly fading.
The alarm came yesterday in Dar es Salaam, during the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between WHO’s Regional Office for Africa (WHO-AFRO) and the East, Central and Southern Africa Health Community (ECSA-HC).
