“Local manufacturing of health products is no longer a goal we can postpone; it is an urgent priority.” - @WilliamsRuto
Africa’s health security depends on local production, sustained investment, and strong partnerships to build capacity and advance health sovereignty.

In 2024, 2.4 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer globally. Yet five-year survival ranges from 41.9% in low-income to 87.3% in high-income countries.
Awareness matters, but timely diagnosis and equitable access to quality care are essential.
#BreastCancerAwareness
A door handle. A phone. A desk. Germs can spread through everyday contact.
Handwashing helps break that chain. Make it a habit, encourage others, and help protect those around you.
Wash. Remind. Protect.

Small improvements can create significant impact.

Highlights from the Knowledge Exchange Series 5.0:
From identifying AMR research gaps to developing research questions, conducting literature reviews, designing studies & structuring papers using the IMRAD format, #KES 5.0 offered a practical insight on the research process.
A big thank you to Dr. @OSIlesanmi, Professor of Healthcare Admi @uncfsu for sharing his expertise and practical insights with participants across Africa.
Swipe through for key insights and quotes from the session. →
Stay tuned for Knowledge Exchange Series 6.0.
What if we stopped asking what healthcare costs and started asking what health makes possible?
As @ymahmoudali puts it: “Health is not a cost; it is a strategic economic asset.”
Investing in health is investing in Africa’s people, systems and economic growth.
