Africa Life Clinic, health issues affecting people’s everyday lives across the continent.

The Covid pandemic is the overwhelming health issue facing Africa right now. However there are a multitude of other health issues which affect people’s daily lives across the continent. Africa Life Clinic aims to reflect the health concerns of Africa through a focus on ‘relatable’ stories- issues that strike a chord with the audience, that might be part of their lives and affect them personally. As well as delving into ongoing developments with the pandemic, Africa Life Clinic features stories about health that concern the continent, such as safe and affordable blood donation, stopping the sale of fake drugs, preventing the spread of rabies and finding ways of dealing with chronic conditions like diabetes or improving mental health. Each week it features perspectives and solutions from different countries.
