Call from Africa leaders for self-reliance, health sovereignty. @jarottingen.bsky.social @wellcometrust.bsky.social calls out the positive trend toward sovereignty & bilateral partnerships to strengthen national capabilities, but calls for the need to remember mechanisms for collective problems.

At #ACS2, African leaders rightfully spotlight climate as a health crisis and commit to resilient health systems. This momentum is vital, but Africa needs accelerated funding & integrated climate-health policies now to protect vulnerable communities from growing climate shocks. 🌍

Resilience Action Network Africa @ranafrica.org · 25d

The Addis Ababa Declaration is a powerful step linking climate & health. Yet, we must push further — strengthen early warning systems to health responses, prioritize equitable access, & ensure climate finance for frontline health infrastructure across Africa.
