🌍 At the sidelines of #WHS2024, Amref Health Africa, in collaboration with the World Health Summit Secretariat, hosted an insightful dinner discussion focused on financing resilient health systems, with a particular lens on #Africa. The event brought together a diverse group of stakeholders, including civil society, policymakers, governments, development banks, businesses, philanthropies, and multilateral organisations. Under the dynamic moderation of Dr. Githinji Gitahi, the discussion revealed clear takeaways and solutions to address the urgent health financing gaps. Key Takeaways: ✔ Health systems need more than just funding— they need strategic investment: We must not only mobilise more resources for health but also ensure we get more health for every dollar spent. ✔ 🩺 Health is an investment, not a cost: Strong health systems are the foundation of thriving communities and economies. Health should be viewed as an essential investment in people. ✔ ⚖️ Health inequalities remain stark: In Europe, countries invest on average $5,000 per capita on health, while in sub-Saharan Africa, the figure is just $40. This disparity reflects the critical need for more equitable financing mechanisms. ✔ 🌍 Global responsibility for health: Health threats know no borders. The responsibility to build resilient health systems must be shared across the global community. ✔ ⚠️ Weak health systems are increasingly strained: From the rise in mental illnesses to the growing health impacts of #climatechange, fragile systems are being pushed to their limits. Addressing these new challenges requires urgent attention. ✔ 🤝 Health is a political choice: Political will is essential for progress. Budgets must be flexible and adaptable, allowing countries sovereignty over the allocation of resources, while avoiding “pillarised” funding that leaves gaps in care. ✔ 🔄 Systemic change is essential: Simply injecting more money into broken systems won’t solve the problem. We must transform health systems, with cross-sectoral collaboration between institutions and actors. We know what works—it’s time to act. A key highlight of the event was the celebratory toast marking the official launch of Amref Health Africa Deutschland. Congratulations to the #AmrefInGermany team! 🎉 🙏🏽 A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to making this event a success!

Building resilient health systems is crucial for ensuring that everyone, especially in low- and middle-income countries, has fair access to healthcare. Resilient systems can continue to provide care even during crises, reducing inequalities in access to essential health services. A stronger global health infrastructure benefits everyone, as no country is immune to health threats that can emerge from other parts of the world. Join us at #AHAIC2025 to discuss the intersection of climate and health, and to share insights and recommendations on shaping the future of health in Africa.

Water is the primary medium through which we experience the effects of climate change, whether it's through devastating floods or crippling droughts. Kenya witnessed these extremes firsthand. Both floods and droughts caused great harm to health and livelihoods, leading to spikes in diseases like cholera in the aftermath. Join us at #AHAIC2025 in Kigali, Rwanda to advocate for climate action and investment in resilient health systems.
