Health systems in India and Africa face common challenges such as a rising burden of non-communicable diseases, rapid urbanisation, and a high burden of diseases such as tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. In addition, there are systemic challenges such as a shortage of healthcare workers; limited availability of equipment, drugs and supplies; weak monitoring and evaluation systems; limited financing mechanisms and lack of continuity of care.

In an effort aimed at seeking solutions through engagement and collaboration between the health system in India & Africa, the Africa Healthcare Federation & Nat Health India organised a successful webinar on the 12th of December 2020.
