Socio-economic pressures such as poverty and the cost of living, unemployment, poor governance and conflict are significant contributors to the rising prevalence of mental health issues among the youth. These challenges are further compounded by ecological factors like climate change and urbanisation, which can lead to displacement and heightened stress. #AHAIC2025 #ConnectedForChange
Dr @Chikwe_I, Acting @WHOAFRO Regional Director, underscores the importance of regional and global solidarity in responding to infectious disease outbreaks, during the #AHAIC2025 press conference earlier today 👇🏿
As @WHOAFRO, we will collaborate with ministers of health to identify and address gaps in areas previously funded by USAID. By mapping these gaps, we can work together with ministries to find effective solutions and support government efforts. We need to focus internally while remaining open to collaboration. Our objective is to achieve a sustainable future. Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, Acting Regional Director for Africa, @WHOAFRO. #AHAIC2025 #ConnectedForChange @daktari1@DestaLakew@AfricaCDC@RwandaHealth@_AfricanUnion
