Africa is no longer a passive participant in global health; it is an active architect of its own direction, priorities, and outcomes.
The future of health policy, innovation, and delivery cannot be meaningfully advanced without Africa at the centre of both deliberation and implementation.
To realise this grand plan, we must re-imagine Africa’s health systems and place policy leadership, technology and mobilisation of domestic resources at the centre of this paradigm shift.
More fundamentaly, Africa's health systems can only be sound when we are able to manufacture adequate health commodities within the continent.
