Africa produces less than 5% of the diagnostics and just 1% of the vaccines it uses — a dependency that weakens emergency response, increases costs, and puts lives at risk.
In our latest Correspondence in @TheLancet, co-authored with my colleagues at @AfricaCDC, we highlight the urgent need to strengthen local production across the continent.
Through initiatives like the Africa Collaborative Initiative to Advance Diagnostics (AFCAD), we are demonstrating how strategic investment, regulatory harmonisation, and pooled procurement can strengthen local production and build a more resilient, self-sufficient health system.
