From health systems to health sovereignty across Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean
Abstract
Recently, I attended the African Union Summit in Addis Ababa, which brings together Member States from both the WHO African Region (AFR) and the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR). The discussions highlighted a structural shift in global health: health systems are operating within the context of geopolitical fragmentation, prolonged crises and increasingly constrained and volatile external financing.
