Africa's top health official is calling on the US to lift its aid freeze, warning that the move is putting lives at risk and undermining efforts to contain disease outbreaks that could have global implications, including for Americans. The official will pen a letter to the US Secretary of State, highlighting the devastating impact of the aid freeze on public health initiatives across the continent, where health crises like COVID-19 and Ebola pose a significant threat. With the US being a key player in global health security, the plea aims to prompt a swift response to address the growing health concerns in Africa, a region also vulnerable to pandemics and epidemics.
