The United Kingdom has provided the African Union 20 million pounds, approximately MK18bn as a support to Africa's response to Coronavirus pandemic.
UK's International Development Secretary, Annie-Marie Trevelyan, says the support should help train African health experts to tackle the pandemic in all the 55 member states of the union, including Malawi.
She added that the new funding to Africa will help protect people from the pandemic as everyone now faces a peace time challenge.
“As the UK faces its biggest peacetime challenge in tackling Coronavirus, it's never more important to work with our partners in Africa to fight disease,” Trevelyan said.
