Planning for improved health-care capacity and better preparedness and responses to epidemics in Africa November 2022
Abstract
Epidemics and diseases have always been part of human
history. However, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
pandemic has highlighted the importance of effective
containment measures and strong health systems in
mitigating the potentially devastating socioeconomic
impact of epidemics and life-threatening diseases on
States. In Africa, given the high burden of disease and the weak
and underfunded health systems, it is vital that efforts
to strengthen health systems and develop epidemic
preparedness and response plans be prioritized and
embedded within the broader development planning
architecture.
