African Union Commission Chairperson Mahmoud Ali Youssouf has urged member states to move from political promises to concrete implementation on health.
The African Union Commission Chairperson, Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, has called on member states to translate existing political commitments into measurable action, according to the Ethiopian News Agency.
The statement was made in Addis Ababa, where Youssouf addressed the gap between what African governments have pledged and what they have delivered on health — a gap that has particular weight for communities with albinism, who depend on consistent access to sun protection, dermatological care, and vision services that remain out of reach across much of the continent.
The AU has previously adopted resolutions affirming the rights of people with albinism, including protections against ritual attacks and commitments to healthcare access. Youssouf's remarks suggest those resolutions have not yet produced the structural change they promised.
