Today, VC Prof. Kayihura M. Didas, received a delegation from Africa CDC led by Tesfaye Hailemichael (Head of the Africa CDC Supply Chain Division), for strategic engagement on advancing collaboration between our/EAC Centre of Excellence for Vaccines, Immunization and Health Supply Chain Management [@EacRceVihscm] and @AfricaCDC.

Discussions reflected shared goals of improving health and humanitarian supply chain management capacity building in #Africa. Once concluded, the collaboration will support the development and delivery of professional courses aligned with the Public Health Emergency Supply Chain (PHESC) Competency Framework and humanitarian logistics.

We look forward to this exciting partnership.

On the margins of the 39th @_AfricanUnion Assembly, I convened leaders to advance Africa’s Health Security and Sovereignty—starting with the essentials: a protected health workforce, strong community health, and sustainable immunisation.

Grateful to H.E. Kashim Shettima, Vice President of Nigeria, for a clear reminder: community health workers are the foundation of prevention and trust.

My message is simple: investing in Africa’s health workforce is not a cost, it’s a strategic investment in health security, economic resilience and sovereignty. We know what works.

Now we must finance it and deliver at scale.

En marge de la 39e Session de l’Assemblée de l’Union africaine, j’ai réuni des dirigeants pour faire avancer l’Agenda de Sécurité et de Souveraineté Sanitaires de l’Afrique — en mettant l’accent sur l’essentiel : un personnel de santé protégé, des systèmes de santé communautaire solides et des programmes de vaccination durables.

Je remercie S.E. Kashim Shettima, Vice-Président du Nigéria, pour son message fort : les agents de santé communautaires sont le socle de la prévention et de la confiance.

Mon message est clair : investir dans le personnel de santé en Afrique n’est pas une dépense, c’est un investissement stratégique dans la sécurité sanitaire, la résilience économique et la souveraineté. Nous savons ce qui fonctionne. Il nous appartient désormais de le financer et de le déployer à grande échelle.

WAZIRI KOMBO ASIFIA MCHANGO WA AFRICA CDC KATIKA KULINDA AFYA YA AFRIKA

Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Afrika Mashariki, Mhe. Balozi Mahmoud Thabit Kombo (Mb.), amefanya ziara katika Makao Makuu ya Kituo cha Afrika cha Kudhibiti na Kuzuia Magonjwa (Africa CDC) jijini Addis Ababa, Ethiopia ambapo amepongeza juhudi za taasisi hiyo katika kuboresha afya na ustawi wa watu wa Afrika.

Akiwa katika mazungumzo na Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa Africa CDC, Dkt. Jean Kaseya, Waziri Kombo ameeleza kufurahishwa na kazi ya taasisi hiyo na kuitaja kuwa na heshima kubwa kimataifa, ingawa bado mataifa ya Afrika hayajaitumia ipasavyo. “Tunapaswa kuwa mabalozi wenu ili viongozi wetu waelewe kwa undani kazi mnayofanya,” alisema Mhe. Kombo.

Waziri Kombo amesisitiza kuwa kazi ya Africa CDC inagusa sekta za afya, elimu, michezo na utamaduni, na hivyo kuitaka taasisi hiyo kushirikiana zaidi na wizara mbalimbali za nchi wanachama huku akionesha utayari wa Serikali ya Tanzania kuimarisha uhusiano huo.

Aidha, Waziri Kombo amependekeza ushirikiano wa kiufundi kati ya Africa CDC na Tanzania kupitia Bohari ya Dawa (MSD), ambapo Tanzania imepanga kuanzisha vituo vya usambazaji wa dawa katika mipaka na wilaya zote. Pia amepongeza juhudi za Africa CDC katika kupambana na ugonjwa wa seli mundu, akieleza kuwa Tanzania iko tayari kushiriki kupitia mpango wa “Building a Better Tomorrow (BBT)” unaoongozwa na Rais Samia Suluhu Hassan.

Kwa upande wake, Dkt. Kaseya amempongeza Waziri Kombo kwa ziara hiyo na kusema kuwa Tanzania inaweza kuwa mshirika muhimu katika kusaidia Africa CDC kufikisha ujumbe wake kwa viongozi wa Afrika, hasa kwa kuzingatia nafasi ya Rais Samia kama Mwenyekiti wa sasa wa Chombo cha Usalama cha SADC.

Waziri Kombo pia ametembelea Kituo cha Dharura cha Uendeshaji kinachofuatilia zaidi ya matukio 140 ya kiafya barani Afrika, na kuelezwa jinsi taasisi hiyo inavyotumia teknolojia ya kisasa kulinda afya ya bara la Afrika.

Katika ziara hiyo, Mhe. Waziri Kombo aliambatana na Balozi wa Tanzania nchini Ethiopia, Mhe. Innocent Shiyo, pamoja na Mkurugenzi wa Idara ya Ushirikiano wa Kimataifa katika Wizara ya Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Afrika Mashariki, Balozi Noel Kaganda.
