Zambia will sign a $1.5 billion, five-year health funding agreement with the United States after resolving disputes over data sharing.
The new pact targets HIV/AIDS, malaria, maternal and child health, and boosts Zambia’s disease outbreak preparedness.
Zambia paused negotiations earlier this year over U.S. demands for broad access to health data and concerns of possible links to Zambia’s mineral resources.
The final deal limits U.S. data access strictly to program monitoring and removes a clause about sharing patient medical specimens. #Zambia #USA
