During this year’s Wales and Africa Health Links Network annual conference, we launched the Review of Welsh Health Partnerships and a Rapid Review of International Health Activity:
Wales has a long history of positive engagement with low- and middle-income countries, and we are now at a moment of considerable opportunity. As we rebuild after a pandemic that has exposed global inequities and interconnections, the Welsh Government has commissioned this report, which considers activity between Wales and sub-Saharan Africa. It has a focus on Official Development Assistance (ODA) funding opportunities and an eye to maximising the benefits of global engagement to NHS Wales.
This review documents the considerable assets Wales has at its disposal in the international health space, looking across all sectors. Wales is home to world-leading universities, a unified health and care system, a thriving life sciences commercial sector and energetic, global non-profit activity, all supported by outward and forward-looking national policies. The review considers the ways in which Wales can increase the value of its engagement in international health, to benefit the country commercially and reputationally.
