Q&A: Africa’s new order for achieving health security: The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention’s plan may help the continent emerge successfully from the Covid-19 pandemic and respond to other threats
sources and access to medicines have been shaped by forces outside the continent, and this system is failing us.
The new public health order is focused on building the capacity of African public health institutions to coordinate policies and programmes, drive disease surveillance, and harmonise public health responses.Disease outbreaks have health, social and economic consequences. Therefore, if we can strengthen public health institutions to be better prepared to respond to disease outbreaks, more lives could be saved when the next pandemic comes.
If we invest in the public health workforce, we’re ensuring that patients receive quality care and that health workers have the training, support and remuneration they need to do their jobs. Such investments will lead to better health outcomes in Africa.Each of the five pillars in the new public health order addresses a particular problem or limitation of the status quo.
