How Zambia Forced Trump Administration to Back Down in US Health Deal Talks | Firstpost Africa
Watch this video as Firstpost explains how Zambia is set to sign a revised five-year, $3.6 billion health agreement with the United States, securing $1.5 billion in US assistance alongside a $2.1 billion domestic commitment. Talks had previously stalled after Lusaka rejected original terms under the Trump administration that demanded access to patient records, biological samples within five days, and potential ties to critical mineral reserves. Zambian officials, led by Health Minister Roma Chilengi, pushed back against provisions that allowed private US firms to profit from research without ensuring local access to resulting treatments. Under the newly redrawn terms, patient privacy is protected, data collection is limited to measuring programme efficiency, and national mineral assets remain untouched. As Washington shifts from USAID to bilateral aid deals, Zambia’s successful negotiation sets a high-profile precedent for African nations balancing international health funding with national sovereignty.
