Why is testing for diseases so hard to access in Africa?
Manage episode 433905158 series 2859950
Less than 50% of the world’s population have access to diagnostics, according to statistics from the medical journal, The Lancet.
That drops to 20% when it comes to Africa, where the diagnostic gap is most severe at the level of primary health care. According to The Global Health Fund, Africa bears a quarter of the global disease burden and endures over 100 health emergencies a year.
In this episode of the Africa Daily Podcast, Peter Musembi explores what needs to be done to address that acute gap in diagnostics in Africa.
Guests: Zambian health worker Constance Mudenda and Dr Allan Pamba, Executive Vice President in charge of Africa for Roche Diagnostics.
