As thousands of malnourished children have already died on the continent -- due to Trumpian fecklessness, we will keep following efforts to refill/replace the role USAID had historically played in central Africa. CIDRAP has the latest, here:
. . .Yesterday the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) and the European Commission highlighted the launch of the Partnership to Accelerate Mpox Testing and Sequencing in Africa (PAMTA) to boost diagnostics and outbreak response capabilities in mpox-affected African countries. . . .
PAMTA is designed to bolster resilience against current and future outbreaks in Africa. It will accelerate testing, sequencing, capacity building, and local manufacturing efforts for mpox and other priority pathogens across Africa through a €9.4 million ($10.7 million US) grant to Africa CDC and the African Society for Laboratory Medicine, managed by the European Health and Digital Executive Agency. The project officially began on June 1 and will be implemented over 3 years. It is funded under the EU4Health 2024 Work Programme.
Africa CDC Director General, Jean Kaseya, said, "This partnership reflects our commitment to working with trusted partners to build agile and self-reliant public health systems across Africa. Together with the EU and our technical partners, we are setting a new benchmark for outbreak detection and response. . . ."
Damn these feckless MAGAts. Damn them.
