Guinea has signed a $143 million memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the United States to boost the country’s health infrastructure, Finance Minister Mariama Ciré Sylla confirmed via a Facebook video.
The five-year agreement, part of the US State Department’s America First Global Health Strategy, targets:
• Strengthening Guinea’s health security and emergency preparedness.
• Accelerating malaria prevention and treatment programmes.
• Achieving permanent polio eradication.
The funding comprises $91 million from the US and $51 million from Guinea, to be deployed between 2026 and 2030. Sylla described the deal as “a new phase in the strategic partnership between the US and Guinea, serving the health, development, and prosperity of our nation.”
The MoU is part of a wider US initiative engaging multiple African countries and Panama to enhance global health security.
