Introduction
The outbreak of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and its declaration as an international public health emergency and a global pandemic sent states to self-inspection to determine their preparedness to mitigate the effects of the pandemic. Through continuing experiences, Africa has seen the need to invest heavily in developing robust healthcare systems, providing adequate funding and proper monitoring systems to ensure transparency and accountability in the health sector. This is so because the need to contain the pandemic has caused immense pressure on the healthcare system across Africa, ranging from a shortage of healthcare personnel, limited hospital capacity, and the inadequacy of the necessary intensive care units and other key medical equipment and supplies.
With increased COVID-19 infections in the continent between 2020 and 2021, many African countries' health systems, such as Kenya and South Africa, experienced enormous pressure due to the rising number of COVID-19 patients. This shows that the pandemic has provided a reminder of the need for quality and sustainable healthcare systems in Africa and a collaborative approach by governments, civil society, the private sector and international organisations in its response.
