Africa CDC set for bigger power as PAP pushes stronger continental disease response

The Pan-African Parliament (PAP) is pushing for a stronger role for the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) in coordinating Africa’s response to public health threats.

The resolution seeks deeper cooperation between the Pan-African Parliament and Africa CDC to strengthen disease prevention, emergency response and health security across the continent.

The PAP further urged countries to strengthen health data systems and support the ratification and domestication of continental frameworks, including the African Union Convention on Cyber Security and Personal Data Protection and the AU Data Policy Framework.
