Africa CDC’s weekly report provides crucial updates on significant health events across the continent. The report focuses on three key aspects: the spread of diseases, risk assessments, and public health responses from affected countries, partners, and the Africa CDC itself.
Each week, the report highlights events categorized as moderate to very high risk, based on the Africa CDC’s risk assessment system. These events can range from a single country to multiple countries. The report includes a wide range of health threats, including emerging infectious diseases, long-standing health problems, and natural disasters.
The report adopts a comprehensive ‘One Health’ approach, considering the interconnectedness of animal, environmental, and human health. It aims to provide timely and valuable information to support informed decision-making and effective interventions for a healthier Africa.
The Africa CDC’s commitment to tracking and reporting these events underscores its dedication to protecting public health and promoting a healthier future for the African continent. Stay informed, stay vigilant, and stay safe.
