According to the WHO, there were an estimated 251 million malaria cases (95% of global cases) and 579,414 malaria deaths (97% of global deaths) in African Union Member States in 2023. 76% of these deaths were children under the age of five.

Meningitis poses a significant public health threat, despite successful efforts to control the disease globally. The burden of morbidity and mortality from meningitis remains high, particularly in low- and middle-income countries and in settings experiencing large-scale, disruptive epidemics.

There has recently been  an increase in political commitment, as evidenced by two UN high-level meetings on TB in 2018 and 2023. The 2023  political declaration reaffirmed the goals set out in the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the WHO's End TB  Strategy, and established new targets for the period 2023–2027

The prevalence of both HIV and Hepatitis B is high in South Africa therefore there is a significant risk of acquiring these infections following exposure to infected material. Studies suggest that post- exposure prophylaxis (PEP) with highly active antiretroviral trea...tment (HAART) is highly effective in preventing HIV  infection  if  taken  correctly  for  the  full  recommended  duration  of  28  days,  and  that  prophylaxis  with  Hepatitis  B  immunoglobulin  and  vaccination  may  prevent  Hepatitis  B  infection  if  given  soon  after exposure. This update of the Western Cape guidelines for management of potentially infectious exposures  is  based  on  current  evidence  and  guidelines  issued  by  the  WHO,  NDoH  and  the  SA  HIV  Clinicians Society. The key aim is to promote successful completion of the recommended ART regimen in the 28 day period of therapy, as well as prevent infection with Hepatitis B

Total Government Health Expenditure exceeds the commitment by African Union member states to commit at least 15% of their budgets to the health sector. With a sector allocation of 16.6% of total budget in 2022/...23 and average per capita spending estimated at US$407 (N$6,500.00), health spending in Namibia is one of the highest in SADC. The Government is thus encouraged to sustain this level of investment to safeguard the gains achieved and make progress towards SDGs. This could be achieved through the development of a national health financing strategy to mobilise additional and innovative resources for the sector.
