The work of the World Health Organization in the African Region: Report of the Regional Director: 1 July 2024–30 June 2025

This report outlines the work of the WHO Regional Office for Africa from July 2024 to June 2025, a year marked by significant operational challenges and institutional transitions. Despite severe financial constraints, the Region maintained critical operations, supported Member States across key technical areas, and advanced regional and global health priorities. Structured around four strategic pillars – universal health coverage, health emergencies, healthier populations and integrated action – the report highlights how WHO remained a reliable technical partner, adapted to shifting demands, and reinforced country-led efforts towards building resilient and equitable health systems.
