Introduction to Discussion
African countries continue to face many challenges as they strive to ensure that health systems maintain essential health services as they respond to ongoing and emerging health threats. The Africa CDC encourages governments, policymakers, and stakeholders to allocate a larger portion of their national budgets to healthcare initiatives and more so to essential health services. Gravitate-Health’s goal of providing easily accessible and understandable health information aligns with the broader objectives of improving public health in Africa.
