why africa the? expanding research in clinical care and africa has the advantage that advances and understand and clinical care can be accomplished at far lower costs than in the developed world but, of course, there's a humanitarian side of this as well in that the disparities that are present in this country are far greater in africa. to be effective and sustainable any effort in africa must work by supporting local clinicians and researchers, and we heard the example of hydrocephalus which is absolutely phenomenal. we need to do the same thing autism. we must support local clinicians and researchers who can be trained to the state of the art, the exchange programs and interactions with colleagues in the u.s. and in other countries. workforce expansion in training and africa is sorely needed and is feasible and cost-effective. this will have a direct impact on local populations, lowering the the burden of disease by intervening, by allowing earlier intervention and also a a dirt impact for us in th

does africa have a strategy to tackle covid—19? drjohn nkengasong, welcome to hardtalk. official figures show that five million cases exist in africa of covid—19, nearly 130,000 deaths. how worried are you? i'm very worried because we are not winning the battle against covid—19 in africa. if you look at our numbers as you already stated, they continue to increase, and several countries are edging towards a third wave of the pandemic now. and many countries have gone through their second wave, so we are not absolutely winning the battle against covid in africa. are you confident that you know what is going on? i give you one example. the south african finance minister told hardtalk recently, because, of course, south africa has 1.7 million cases, the worst on the continent. he says, "we don't hide facts in south africa.

this is the one southern africa. so whenever you can extend this wish and the sex mentally also the simulation of different areas of concern which you asked united countries of the nation very. and then also we have done by and at the point it can be also about relaxing on g strong public health and social measure. you know, you can help article to stop the contribution of the chain. and obviously, the wind is also the level of immunity of the population united, the snow, thrown out of the vaccination, the knowledge of so much as i can see, those are a few main factors explaining to create an upsurge of 90. we get the w h o regional director for africa and i say, don't know, it is quoted as saying africa as public health system can be, must be scaled up to find test, isolate and care for patients. is that actually possible, given the amount of stress that the system is already under? yes indeed, i will not quite important to kayla and meant that includes all of the different aspects of these it is for starting from t

and you say africa is already been left behind. the pandemic of forces, by definition, a global problem. if we fail to tackle the pandemic properly in africa, what implications could that have for the rest of the world? you know, we are all inter depends. if we don't stop the analysis, africa will be rolling some new value in the entire western prediction that's already seen the pfizer, the more then i and all of those byron with combat and let me get back seen. so we are all together. maybe we look at relating to africa off of the trying to me, there is no one would be able to grade. nobody's say everyone say professor yup, boom, africa representative of the research branch of doctors without borders speaking to us from young cameron. thank you so much. again, again, the answer to this pandemic is vaccination. but there are exceptions, perhaps time for your questions. over to derek. all my government says people who had the disease should get just one. do some faxing, because more would be dangerous. it's not true. the short answe

in parts of africa. the continent has done relatively well compared to other regions, but our country is doing enough to stop new infection. this is inside story. ah hello, welcome to the program. i'm rob matheson, when the global pandemic began more than a year ago. many predicted african countries would suffered devastating losses that have been more than 5000000 cases. and only 840000 deaths on the continent. but that only represents less than 3 percent of the total global covered 1900 cases, and a fraction of the continent. 1.3000000000 people that have been worrying signs in recent weeks with more contagious variance, driving up infections in many african countries. cases in some regions of more than doubled just in the past week, the number of deaths has gone up as well. leaders in africa are urgently appealing for more vaccines. fewer than one in $100.00 africans are estimated to be vaccinated. but w h o one's the situation could get worse. vaccines delayed, further in africa. caves is have increa

then they were in south africa and i'm like, nation that in south africa we never had separate roads for black people. whereas in palestine they are separate separate roads where i'm cities obviously right or worse. but if we, but if we, if we will sort of jump in, i do apologize. but if we stick with the south africa analogy, how would you compare the ultimately peaceful anti apartheid movement to the palestinian resistance, hamas, for example, that not a lot, a lot like that, nelson mandela that we came to know later in his life all day how much is big from the military point of view, then the so that we can ration really much. but i think it's important to us compare the anchor project, which is a peaceful civil society boy could be yes. credit card sanctions and which and sanctions i think it's important disgraced at least 2 organizations are similarly simplistic, hoped to achieve peace in the region by peaceful means, which means calling the civil society to engage in boy courts. but the thing that you think let's, let's address the, the, i guess the end of the initiative or all

ah, rose's 3rd wave is sweeping across africa. more than a dozen nations are reporting the worst levels of infections. there are 25000 new cases a day on average. now, 3 times more than in may. in uganda, hospitals are already reaching capacity, and oxygen is in short supply. the amount of oxygen required at the moment for for the fish is with you, we will not be able to nicky. the situation is becoming dire in many regions. are we seeing a repeat of the indian tragedy in africa? welcome to our kirby $900.00 special. i'm going to jones ville in this one. have you with us. now the world tell us organizations across the african continent, the number of cases and death increased by almost 40 percent in the past week. and the 3rd wave hasn't even picked yet. vaccines as we just heard, are in short supply as, as people, patients with the uncomfortable pandemic measures. the methods shouldn't be new to anyone, one and a half years into adobe pandemic. what's your hands maintain? social distance, where mosque, but the disaster management

that africa. and there are huge big political question as to whether or not be wants to continue in a system that is bullies because their concern 7 country cannot come up. it's a global tax rule. and that is why we've been clamoring for a global tax. but under the united nation and of course, luck to me. and so let me just bring you in that, based on that, your chief executive alex cover. his written widely on this decision has talked about, you know, the g 7 shamelessly benefiting themselves and leaving rest of the world behind. he then goes on to talk about what the plan would be in the modeling from your organization. that may be as much as $355000000000.00 might be generated to the fair approach under the 15 percent system, maybe only a $100000000000.00 might be available for poorer countries. so the question then is, it seems that from the analysis, that is the fact that the richer economies that a going to keep the coffers very close you might say to themselves, the real lose is all the pol
