The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised an alarm regarding the global crisis in health financing, highlighting that over 70% of low- and middle-income countries are facing severe disruptions to basic medical services due to drastic cuts in international aid. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated that these cuts, especially under the administration of Donald Trump, have had devastating consequences. It is estimated that international health aid will decrease by over 30% by 2025, severely affecting health systems.
WHO has issued recommendations to counteract these effects, encouraging countries to invest more in health and to protect budgets allocated to this sector. In Africa, where health systems are extremely vulnerable, some countries, such as Nigeria and Ghana, are increasing spending to reduce dependence on external aid. Amma Twum-Amoah, the African Union Commissioner for Health, emphasized that investments in health are essential for the future.
