ADDIS ABABA, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) -- African leaders have emphasized the critical role of the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), recognizing it as the continent's leading public health agency.
This came as the Committee of Heads of State and Government of the Africa CDC convened an extraordinary virtual session on the margins of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, which brought together leaders of African Union (AU) members to deliberate on urgent priorities for Africa's health security and sovereignty, according to an Africa CDC statement issued late Monday.
