A report published on October 11 in the medical journal The Lancet identifies the decline in health aid as a major threat to global health, particularly in Africa.

According to Professor Nicolas Meda, this decline results in interrupted treatments and halted prevention campaigns, thereby weakening healthcare systems across the continent.

In response to this situation, Professor Meda proposes several approaches to preserve healthcare access in Africa, although the report emphasizes the urgency of the issue.
