The World Health Organization and the African Union signed a new health agreement in May 2025. The agreement happened in Geneva during a big health meeting. Two leaders signed the paper together. They want to help African countries improve their hospitals and health care. The partnership will focus on preventing diseases and helping mothers and babies.
The organizations worked together before, but this agreement makes their partnership stronger. Dr Tedros from WHO said many countries are cutting aid money to Africa. The new plan includes five main areas of work. Both groups want African countries to become more independent with their health systems.
