Lenias gives her take that if African economies want to protect African economies, they need to protect heath. She discusses the chronic underfunding of African health systems and what that means for sustainable development of African countries and whether natural resources could be a viable source of funding to build resilient health systems capable of withstanding shocks like pandemics and other public health emergencies.

It has been a painstaking effort driven by AU-Nepad and accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The critical steps towards creating an African Medicines Agency with oversight over the continent's 55 countries have been in full momentum and Africa is six months away from realising the ambition to create an African Medicines Agency.
