US Senator Chris Murphy
AMMAN US Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Near East, South Asia, Central Asia and Counterterrorism, departed Jordan on Wednesday after a trip to the region, according to a statement from the senator’s office.
The trip included meetings with foreign leaders and senior officials including His Majesty King Abdullah, Omani Foreign Minister Al Busaidi, Qatari Foreign Minister Al Thani, United Nations Special Envoy for Yemen Martin Griffiths and several European ambassadors to Yemen to discuss the humanitarian crisis and urgent need to find a political solution to end the war in Yemen.
The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and the African Business Coalition for Health (ABCHealth) have signed a partnership to develop two key initiatives namely (i) the Healthcare and Economic Growth in Africa (HEGA 2) report; and (ii) the West Africa ‘African Continental Free Trade Area’ (AfCFTA)-anchored Pharma Initiative. Both initiatives will be jointly executed.
The partnership between the two organizations is premised on the belief that every African has an undeniable right to quality, accessible and affordable healthcare. The relationship between health and economic growth has been effectively demonstrated by the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is now clear that more private sector involvement is required to support governments’ efforts on health.
