China-Africa co-operation on health strengthened when\u00a0health ministers from South Africa, China and other African countries adopted\u00a0a declaration on Tuesday at the conclusion of the second Ministerial Forum of China-Africa Health Development held in Cape Town this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the offers made by China was to build 100 hospitals and clinics on the continent. This was welcomed by African health ministers because many of our countries have poor facilities,\u201d said Yogan Pillay, a deputy director general at the national health department.<\/p>\n

\u201cOther areas discussed were access to good quality medication at lower prices and collaboration of human resources. Some of the points raised were possible bursaries for health workers, training of health professionals in China and China sending some staff to Africa,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In the declaration, the ministers pledge to \u201csupport a new, well-funded and functional international response system to manage future pandemics\u201d such as the Ebola outbreak that hit West Africa last year. The document reaffirms the outcome of the first such forum of health ministers, held in Beijing\u00a0in 2013, to formally include health development in the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, health leaders from Africa and China published a set of Beijing policy recommendations outlining that intercontinental co-operation can \u201cbe strengthened to drive sustainable impact\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), China has been playing a \u201cgrowing role as a worldwide supplier of vaccines\u201d and recently made a $5-million commitment to\u00a0 Gavi, a global vaccine alliance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ebola outbreak provided context for conversations on health systems and building African health capacity. China provided $120-million in Ebola aid and deployed nearly 1\u00a0000 medical workers to affected areas,\u201d the WHO said in an earlier press release on China-Africa collaboration.<\/p>\n
