 Guinea-Bissau stops vaccine study funded by Trump administration Guinea-Bissau's foreign minister has said his government has stopped a study funded by the Trump administration aiming to evaluate side effects of the life-saving hepatitis B vaccine, including any links to autism. The West African country, one of the region's poorest, has high rates of hepatitis B, and the prospective study had drawn an outcry from scientists and international health bodies because only half the newborns in the trial would get the vaccine at birth.

GOV. SOLUDO HOSTED A TEAM OF EXPERTS FROM W.H.O.(PHOTOS).#PRESS RELEASE.


I hosted a team of experts from the World Health Organisation (WHO) led by Dr. Walter Kazadi Mulombo, the WHO Country Rep. The visit provided us the opportunity to discuss pertinent issues around healthcare delivery in Anambra State and how to improve systems that will ensure access to quality healthcare for our people.

Currently, our focus is on increasing the manpower at various levels of heathcare delivery, with particular focus on the primary healthcare centres. Our bottom-top approach to healthcare is hinged on available data that shows 80% of heathcare needs are handled by the PHCs whereas 80% of funding is, more often than not, concentrated on Tertiary healthcare institutions.

We are changing this narrative through active collaboration of private-community-public- partnership. We look forward to interventions from the WHO with assurances that we will continue to meet up with our counterpart funding obligations and other support where necessary.
