In this episode of the Africa Public Health Podcast, Dr. Raji Tajudeen, Acting Deputy Director General at Africa CDC, discusses one of Africa's greatest health challenges: Workforce Capacity. With fewer than 1 million community health workers across a continent of 1.4 billion people, Africa is far from meeting the 2 million target set by African Union Member States back in 2017. But this is also a moment of opportunity. As a cross-cutting enabler, Africa CDC is charting a new course that centres investment in people as the foundation of stronger, fairer, and more resilient health systems. “The workforce is the lifeline,” says Dr. Raji. “We’re not sitting back, we are actively building the systems and partnerships needed to change this.” 🎧 Streaming now: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/179b...
