Primary health care (PHC) is one of our strongest defenses against the health impacts of climate change, but the PHC system must be equipped to respond to the adverse health impacts of .

That means financing resilient facilities, preparing and protecting health workers, strengthening early-warning systems and developing practical response plans with communities.

As global leaders meet in New York, Amref is calling for climate finance to reach the frontline systems protecting communities from escalating climate risks.

Climate resilience must be built where care begins: in communities.

The global health system must change with the world around it. In a new Nature Medicine commentary, Dr Githinji Gitahi and fellow global health leaders call for a more country-led system built on national ownership, stronger domestic capability and shared accountability.

These questions will also be central to in Kigali, where African leaders and global partners will discuss how Africa can help shape a fairer and more effective global health system.

The system stands at a turning point. Shrinking resources, rising inequity, and the Lusaka Agenda’s urgent call for fairness demand immediate, bold reform. We must act decisively to reshape governance, financing, and delivery so everyone is protected. Delay will leave millions at risk and the world exposed to future threats. The moment for change is now.

This vision is further grounded in an Africa Perspective Paper on Global Health Reform, commissioned by Wellcome Trust and published as one of five bold proposals for a reimagined global health architecture, each authored by an innovative thought leader from a different region of the world.

What if fewer mothers had to travel long distances for lifesaving care? What if no child was missed by immunisation simply because of where they lived?

Across Africa, Amref Health Africa is working with governments and communities to bring quality care closer to home, strengthening capacity of health workers, referral systems, maternal and newborn care, immunisation and community-based services.

In 2025, that meant safer births, more children protected from disease and stronger systems connecting households to the care they need.
