What happens when the US cuts global health funding to Africa?

Cities are changing fast and our health policies need to catch up.
In The Lancet Global Health Series, I talk about why we must design urban health systems that reflect real-life choices people make every day.

This man has been an MP since the 1980s and has also held high ranks in the government. He saw it wise to build a church for the people to thank God for his healing after treatment abroad. How many Ugandans can afford to fly to Germany for chemo and radiotherapy? The mediocrity is truly appalling.

After completing my Ph.D. in Germany, my husband and I returned to Africa, ready to contribute to the continent’s health research. We both joined @aphrc.bsky.social as postdoc fellows.

Why are 'prophets' and faith healers so common in Africa? Check out our podcast on Global Health Unfiltered, where we discuss the effects of faith healers on health, and more, especially in light of the revelations from TB Joshua's documentary.

I'm delighted to have co-authored this critical paper alongside other African global health experts (@seyeabimbola.bsky.social and Dr Ebere Okereke) on how Africa's health systems can adapt and build resilience following the abrupt USAID cuts.

This makes for depressing reading:
- Uganda ranked second in the world in consumption of antibiotics!!
- Deaths from #AMR almost double those from Malaria!!
This makes the case for why we need functional health systems, the scale of AMR is a sign of a system on its knees.
