Dr. Jean Kaseya

I had a productive meeting with Mr. Claver Gatete, Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of UNECA. We discussed pivotal initiatives to advance Africa's health and economic development, and potential areas of collaboration, including strengthening our partnership on local manufacturing and supporting domestic resource mobilization through increased health expenditure and the application of innovative financing mechanisms. #LocalManufacturing

Local manufacturing is not a dream but a reality. With the involvement of the private sector, we can unlock numerous opportunities for health benefits and economic growth. #PHAHM #PublicPrivatePartnership #GlobalPharmaEvent

Regulatory strengthening is key. We must do more to equip and empower our NRAs to ensure locally manufactured health products are of high quality. #GlobalHealthSecurity #GlobalPharmaEvent #PHAHM

During the Global Forum for Vaccine Sovereignty and Innovation in Paris and the #AVMA launch on June 20, I gave a live interview to BBC News Focus on Africa Waihiga Mwaura to discuss Africa CDC's vision for vaccine manufacturing. I called for action to support this bold project, highlighted the joint commitment of $2 billion by Africa CDC and African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), and emphasized the need to restore trust between Africa and the world in global health security.

South Africa is facing mpox outbreak with 7 confirmed cases and 2 deaths. I have held discussions with Minister of Health Hon Dr Joe Phaahla, and Dr. Sandile S.S Buthelezi, Director General of the Department of Health South Africa, to coordinate the response to the outbreak. Africa CDC is committed to securing mpox vaccines and enhancing surveillance in communities and health facilities. An mpox outbreak anywhere is a threat everywhere. Urgent action is needed to increase access to mpox diagnostics, vaccines, and therapeutics for all affected African countries.
