AbstractThe measures put in place to fight the Covid-19 pandemic have a strong impact on many programs to fight several other infectious diseases in Africa. The disruption of drug and equipment supply chains, the interruption of therapies, or the under-detection of new cases produce excess morbidity and mortality linked to many other diseases, including HIV, malaria and tuberculosis. These indirect impacts could ultimately turn out to be much greater than the direct impacts associated with the current Covid-19 pandemic. Mitigation measures for these indirect impacts are underway, but most require access to quality and up-to-date data on the state of health services.
