Healthcare in Africa on brink of crisis as US exits WHO and USAid freezes funds

China getting wet dreams from all the voids they will be filling.

US development aid is used to run large-scale health programmes on the continent. For example, Nigeria received approximately US$600 million in health assistance from the US, over 21% of the 2023 health budget.

Nigeria exports about 1.5 million barrels of oil daily. Current price of crude oil is bout USD 75 per bbl.

You do the simple maths. This is not even including crude byproducts like natural gas.

There are people EATING off the development aid that is supposed to make its way to the underprivileged.

It could be because the US held the market on it

They could do a quid pro quo in different aspects

Normally you’re correct but this is the WHO. What influence politics wise could the IS exercise over an independent organization that is merely a conduit for aid allocation?

Remember China using the WHO to cover up the spread of COVID?

Europe ain’t got no money

They would make it happen if they can force Africa to give up the goods in return for medical need, etc

I'm of two minds about this: It will cause a lot of problems for a lot of places in Africa but at the same time, this may force Africa to figure out these problems or force people to truly be angry with their leaders. The regular people are who will feel it the worse with japa syndrome rampant across many different parts of Africa.
Either ways, this will not work out the way Trump and his ilk thinks it will work out.

Our countries headed in the same direction if Elon’s retarded ass messes with Medicare and Medicaid.

That's funny because I was told both sides are the same and it doesn't matter.

Not gonna lie. I skimmed the article but aid usually hinders countries’ progress.

This is just as bad as a Pride Flag at a random foreign US embassy.

If that was the case some of these African countries wouldn’t be trying to kick the euros out

They can’t even really feed themselves for real right now

I hope they keep them out until the sun goes out

A lot of these countries need to be self sufficient. You cannot rely on the US and you don’t want to fall back into the hands of colonialism. Nigeria has been such a disappointment.

 

[trapnerd]

Will they divert that money to help pay some of our medical bills?

I got 300k that needs to be paid.
