Africa is confronted by a heavy burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases. Cost-effective interventions that can prevent the disease burden exist but coverage is too low due to health systems weaknesses. This editorial reviews the challenges related to leadership and governance; health workforce; medical products, vaccines and technologies; information; financing; and services delivery. It also provides an overview of the orientations provided by the WHO Regional Committee for Africa for overcoming those challenges. It cautions that it might not be possible to adequately implement those orientations without a concerted fight against corruption, sustained domestic and external investment in social sectors, and enabling macroeconomic and political (i.e. internally secure) environment.
非洲面临着传染病和非传染病的沉重负担。存在一些具有成本效益的可预防疾病负担的干预措施，但由于卫生系统薄弱，覆盖率过低。这篇社论回顾了与领导力和治理、卫生人力、医疗产品、疫苗和技术、信息、融资以及服务提供相关的挑战。它还概述了世卫组织非洲区域委员会为克服这些挑战所提供的方向。它告诫说，如果不协同打击腐败、持续进行国内和外部对社会部门的投资以及营造有利的宏观经济和政治（即国内安全）环境，可能无法充分实施这些方向。
