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. The report, by Accra Reset, cites the Trump administration's cuts to programs such as the US Agency for International Development (USAID) as a contributing factor.
The report also notes that the Covid-19 pandemic and rising global living costs have added to the urgency of reforming healthcare in the region. According to The Guardian, countries in Africa and the Global South are being urged to take greater control of their health development in response.
The US withdrawal from aid programs, combined with the pandemic and economic pressures, has created a challenging environment for healthcare in Africa and the Global South.
