赞比亚与美国签署卫生融资协议，修订后取消生物样本共享条款

赞比亚与美国签署了一项五年期卫生融资协议和数据共享协议1。根据该协议，美国将提供约15亿美元资金，赞比亚也将有所贡献，整体资金包约36亿美元，覆盖2026年至2030年期间1。

此项协议是在数月争议之后达成的1。赞比亚卫生部长罗马·齐伦吉表示，修订后的协议已移除了要求赞比亚向美国发送生物样本的条款1。新协议将不允许共享个人患者记录，数据交换仅限于项目监测评估1。赞比亚政府曾因担忧原协议涉及过度的医疗数据共享而引发关切1。

肯尼亚、坦桑尼亚和乌干达已签署类似协议，而加纳和津巴布韦则因数据共享和样本相关条件而拒绝了协议1。

Zambia has finalized a five-year health financing and data-sharing agreement with the United States, under which the US will provide approximately $1.5 billion in funding 1. The broader financing package totals around $3.6 billion and covers the period from 2026 to 2030 1. The deal comes after months of dispute over provisions that Zambia's government feared would grant excessive access to medical data and tie such access to mining rights concessions.

The revised agreement addresses the country's key concerns by removing a clause requiring Zambia to send biological samples to the United States and restricting data exchange to project monitoring and evaluation purposes only 1. Health Minister Roma Chilengi confirmed that the agreement will prohibit the sharing of individual patient records 1. The signing reflects a shift from the original terms, which had prompted neighboring countries Ghana and Zimbabwe to reject similar agreements over data-sharing and sample-related conditions 1. Other African nations including Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda have already signed comparable accords with the United States 1.
