While there has been real progress in addressing the burden of disease in the WHO African region, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the link between h..., economics and security, as the region saw decades of progress threatened, including positive trends in decreasing inequality. In the African Region the momentum towards achieving the 2030 SDG disease burden reduction targets (SDG targets 3.3, 3.4 and 3B) has stalled.
The COVID-19 pandemic was also a major threat to gains made, such as the eradication of polio in the region, declared in 2020; reduced numbers of new HIV infections in 2021 compared to 2010; and passing the 2020 milestone of the End TB Strategy, with a 22% reduction in new cases compared with 2015.

Dr Ren Minghui, Assistant Director-General, Universal ... Coverage/Communicable and Noncommunicable Diseases, welcomed participants to the meeting.
