| description | Recent Lancet Global Burden of Disease Study projections highlight a significant transformation in sub-Saharan Africa’s (SSA) health landscape by 2050 [1].

This evolving scenario requires urgent modifications in public health strategies to tackle both ongoing and emerging health challenges. |
