The document provides a comprehensive overview of malaria, covering its global impact, transmission, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, prevention strategies, and the role of public health interventions—especially in high-risk regions like sub-Saharan Africa—to reduce its incidence and mortality.
This study aims to provide an overview of health financing in Africa and to examine the impact of the reemergence of mpox on health financing in the region.
This two-page summary provides a problem analysis of the U.S. cuts in global health and derives concrete recommendations for action for medical actors. The focus is on analyzing the direct effects on health-specific development cooperation.
Diabetes poses an increasingly serious health challenge in Africa. Currently, 25 million adults aged 20–79 are living with diabetes, and this figure is projected to increase by 142% to 60 million by 2050 — the highest regional increase worldwide. However, 73% of cases remain undiagnosed, and hea...lthcare spending is the lowest worldwide at just USD 10 billion (1% of global expenditure). In 2024, diabetes caused 216,000 deaths and had a significant impact on maternal health, affecting 1 in 7 births due to hyperglycaemia during pregnancy. Nigeria, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of the Congo have the highest case loads. Without urgent intervention, the diabetes burden will continue to grow, putting further strain on already limited health systems.

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES - PREVENTION AND CARE FOR CHILD SURVIVORS
Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan
Uganda Mpox Outbreak July 2025
The World Health Organization recently redefined leprosy elimination as a phased process, with the first milestone being the
interruption of transmission, achieved when no new child cases (defined as younger than 15 years) are reported for five consecutive years.
In Pakistan, the well-functioning ...leprosy programme, with effective case management, context-specific active case-finding strategies and
a robust data management system, has contributed to a decrease in new cases. Between 2001 and 2023, new adult cases dropped by 75%
(from 878 cases to 220 cases annually) and child cases by 83% (from 93 to 16). To support the country’s goal of no new child cases by 2030
and ultimately eliminate the disease, the nongovernmental organizations Marie Adelaide Leprosy Centre and Aid to Leprosy Patients, with
support from the German Leprosy and Tuberculosis Relief Association, have developed a zero leprosy roadmap. As part of this roadmap,
the leprosy elimination strategy emphasizes improving active case-finding and providing post-exposure prophylaxis for contacts of leprosy
cases, who are at the highest risk
