The scale of Africa’s healthcare challenge is made clear by a quick reading of the World Health Organization’s 2023 statistical report of world health. 

Africa has the highest maternal mortality rate. It has the highest under-five mortality rate at almost twice the global average and nine times higher than Europe. It has the highest mortality rate for deaths related to unsafe water and sanitation. The region also has the lowest life expectancy, at under 65 years.

According to the WHO, those born in Africa in 2048 can expect to live 15 years less on average than their counterparts in the Western Pacific.

It is not all bad news. The HIV incidence rate in Africa fell by 58% between 2010 and 2021. And taking a very long view, life expectancy at birth has risen dramatically from 37.6 years in 1950.
