African Countries have been suffering from various infectious diseases for a long time. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to establish a disease control system in Africa. During the outbreak of the epidemic, China provided various anti-epidemic materials and vaccines and provided medical cooperation at the request of African countries. After the epidemic, China provided assistance to African countries to enhance economic and social development and contributed to the building of a closer China-Africa community of fortune. Earlier this year, the construction of the Africa Center for Disease Control and Prevention Headquarters with China’s assistance was completed in the south of Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa.
It is a symbol of cooperation between China and Africa and is the first Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Africa, with modern office and laboratory conditions and complete facilities. This is of great importance in advancing the pace of disease prevention, surveillance and emergency response in Africa. The chairman of the African Union Commission said that this is an example of medical cooperation between China and Africa. This will bring concrete benefits to the African people.
