Chapter Chapter 1 in Healthcare and Disease Burden in Africa, 2023, pp 1-6 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract There is an acute scarcity of research and studies on the conditions of healthcare in African countries. According to Marincola and Kariuki (2020), 20% of the global disease burden falls on the shoulders of Africa, yet only 1% of worldwide scientific output focuses on African countries. Filling the epistemological gap is critical, for it will not only shine a light on our understanding of the realities of the continent, but also pave way for more engaged future studies. The investigation of existing healthcare conditions in Africa provides an indispensable basis for generating educated responses to the challenges that confront the continent as a whole and across its different localities.
