In 2018, Africa had about 4.3 million health workers. By 2024, that number reached 5.72 million.
That is about 700,000 more nurses, doctors, midwives and other health workers in six years.
Community health workers alone now number around 1.06 million. For many families in rural areas, they are the first, and often the only, link to care.
But these numbers represent less than 50% of the health workforce Africa needs to meet Universal Health Coverage targets by 2030.
The shortage is easing, but slowly. It has gone from 6.1 million to 5.85 million.
We are moving in the right direction, but not fast enough. Africa must train, recognize, regulate, remunerate and empower its health workers faster and at a far larger scale.

Where things have reached in Kanombe, we may soon resort to animal sacrifices and offerings to appease the gods to allow the rains to fall . Cheii 😆😆 Water scarcity has reached another level. Taps have been dry for weeks!

Putting Communities First: Transforming HIV and SRHR Through Partnership in Rwanda
Rwanda’s HIV response is a global reference point, having reached remarkable milestones with adult targets now standing at 96-98-98. However, national averages can sometimes hide the people the system still misses.
In this compelling article, we highlight the impactful power of collaboration and partnership between the @RwandaNGOForum and @UNAIDSRwanda in putting key and priority populations, including FSW, MSM, transgender people, PWID/PWUD, people with disabilities, and AGYW, at the center of the HIV and SRHR response through Community-Led Monitoring (CLM), data-driven advocacy, and policy transformation.

How can we better leverage community-led monitoring (CLM) and SRHR initiatives to reach the last mile and ensure no one is left behind in our health responses? Share your thoughts in the comments below and keep the conversation going.

It wasn't a dream, a few days ago an AI researcher at Anthropic resigned and said something was very concerning: ‘‘there's more than a 10 percent chance AI could kill all of humanity within the next decade’’

#Kigali's palm trees have quietly become part of our skyline. As the roadworks reshape the city beneath them, I find myself hoping these green giants make it through the dust and disruption. They're basically the city's green soul at this point. 🌴🚧" @CityofKigali
