Tremendous progress and value has been provided to the society in Africa with the development and deploy innovative interventions to control endemic diseases example malaria. Several new modalities for diagnosis, treatment and prevention have been developed, tested, evaluated and deployed in public health settings. However more needs to be done to tackle the remaining burden of disease and new challenges hindering the control and elimination of these diseases. An opportunity exist for enhancing the collaboration between China and Africa to expand research and innovative tools with a more deliberate expansion of the value chain to include production of strategic interventions & tools for research and public health deployment. Areas related to valorization of the African biodiversity will benefit from the long-standing tradition of use and manufacture of traditional Chinese medicine as well as other biologics. The China Africa collaboration will allow faster pathway from development of products to market introduction and expansion of novel modalities for health care.
