A new international partnership was launched today that will help build
national health systems in some of the poorest countries in the world. It will
mean healthier people, living longer lives.
Seven ‘first wave’ countries in Africa and Asia today announced that they
would join the new International Health Partnership, which is supported by donor
governments and agencies representing half of the world’s aid spending on
health, which totals $14 billion.
The seven in the first wave are Burundi, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Kenya,
Mozambique, Nepal and Zambia. These countries have agreed that they would
benefit from closer donor and international partner coordination as they work to
improve the health of their people.
