In 1948, UNICEF supported maternal and child health training in China, helping equip local health workers with life-saving skills. This was one of the foundations of rural healthcare.

Africa’s health security starts with every child surviving and thriving.
At the China–Africa Public Health Forum, UNICEF championed child-centred cooperation that strengthens health systems, advances local manufacturing and builds Africa’s health sovereignty.
Thank you to Africa CDC and China CDC for convening this important dialogue and for their partnership and commitment.
A healthier, more resilient Africa begins with investing in its children.
