Investment into health R&D could unlock $668B for Africa

A new report indicates that if African governments invest 1% of their GDPs in health research and development, they could generate $668 billion in economic returns over 20 years. Currently, Africa carries 25% of the global disease burden but accounts for only 1.1% of clinical trials globally, leading to reliance on imported medicines and brain drain of health workers. The Accra Reset initiative aims to give African governments greater control over their health systems.
