The COVID-19 pandemic and other diseases are threatening the lives of millions across Africa, prompting the continent's top health official to appeal to the US government for urgent aid. In a letter to the US Secretary of State, the official will highlight the devastating impact of the aid freeze on public health efforts, including disease outbreaks and global health security. The move aims to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and protect not only Africans but also Americans. With the US being a key player in global health initiatives, the resumption of aid is crucial for containing health crises and promoting health equity.
