Burkina Faso and the Democratic Republic of Congo are the latest African countries to sign the controversial health funding package from the US under Trump's America First Global Health Strategy, which is reportedly linked to granting Washington greater access to mineral resources and harvesting sensitive personal health data of Africans. While Zambia and Zimbabwe have turned down the funding, nearly 20 countries on the continent have accepted it.

#Federal Cassation Bench upholds desert allowance for #Metema Hospital staff; #unpaid overtime worsens hardship for health professionals in #Amhara region
Health professionals working in eight government hospitals across the Amhara Region say they are facing severe social and economic hardship due to years of unpaid “desert allowances.” Despite a court ruling in favor of Metema Hospital staff, the payments have yet to be implemented. Furthermore, health workers across the Amhara region report that overtime (duty) payments have not been made for several months....
A health professional at Dabat Primary Hospital testifies to the difficulty he is facing due to delayed duty payment. He describes his situation, saying, “I can’t make ends meet from month to month. I am living on borrowed money. I am married and have a child.”
He describes the economic hardship as “Health professionals have become the poorest of the poor. Merchants increase prices, and farmers adjust prices based on the market, but professionals cannot.”

Since the conflict began in #Amhara region of #Ethiopia, there are disturbing reports of health workers being targeted - detained, beaten, and killed. On Feb 4, Dr. Tsegahun Sime was reportedly taken by security forces in Bahir Dar and later found dead. Hospitals have been damaged in the fighting, and aid workers have lost their lives. With internet blackouts limiting information, these incidents need urgent independent investigation. Health facilities and health workers are not a target.
Peace is the best medicine.
