Health Diplomacy in Africa: Trends, Challenges, and Perspectives

Ndi, Humphrey Ngala; Bang, Henry Ngenyam; Takwa, Zebulon Suifon; Mbur, Anna Tasha

The purpose of this book is to project diplomacy as an unavoidable instrument for monitoring, prevention and control of health and disaster risks among African countries. The book advocates health cooperation in Africa at a time when pandemics are recurrent. Outside of the WHO, many countries, even within regional groupings have not actively pursued health cooperation. We intend this book to provide the basis for advocating the inclusion of health diplomacy in the curricula of the training of the African diplomat with the hope to stimulate gradual policy shifts in foreign ministries, regional groupings, and the African Union.
