A new report warns that healthcare in Africa and the Global South is "under growing strain" following the United States' withdrawal from key aid programs. According to the report from Accra Reset, the Trump administration's cuts to programs such as the US Agency for International Development (USAID) have contributed to this strain. The Covid-19 pandemic and rising global living costs have also added to the urgency for healthcare reform in the region.
The report calls for countries in the region and Global South to take greater control of their health development. The US withdrawal from aid programs, along with the pandemic and economic pressures, has created a pressing need for reform.
The situation is highlighted by reports from The Guardian, which notes that these factors have brought a "new urgency" to the need for healthcare reform.
