Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta yesterday called the US decision to cut foreign aid "a wake-up call" for Kenya and Africa to utilize local resources to fund health services.
Uhuru said that Africans should stop lamenting over US President Donald Trump's decisions, which prioritize the interests of his people, and instead find ways to finance the continent's health services.
Health experts have warned that Trump's move could disrupt vital healthcare programs, particularly those addressing HIV and healthcare governance, which are now on hold.
Affected initiatives include the United Society Against Fraud, Waste, and Abuse (Usawa) program and the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
