China and Korea have contributed $4 million to the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) to help plug some of the immediate health funding gaps.
This support comes in response to financial gaps created by U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to freeze various aid programs, according to the continent’s top health advisory body.
Africa receives about 84% of its healthcare funding from outside the continent, including $500 million the US had pledged to contribute to Africa CDC.
