> where the per-capital annual health budget is $0.05
That surely must be a typo, right?

Malaria, HIV, myriad diarrheal diseases, vaccines.
You've got a nickel per person.
It says $15 per capita.
It seems hard to get a fixed number. Doing math off the Uganda MOH budget puts it at about $4.
But it should also be noted that even the optimistic figure likely also includes things like hospital construction, money to pay healthcare workers, labs (and lab reagents), etc. that isn't what people normally think of.
I'd really like my number to be wrong though. Because even $15 per person is...dire.
Your reasoning also leaves out that a lot of health care never goes through government coffers, both in African nations but also, for example, in the US.
For that matter, if you'd like me to talk about the way non-African healthcare systems are broken, I'm happy to do that as well, that just happens to not be what this thread is about.
Also, the programs we are talking about rarely go through non-governmental sources.
Literally expired last night. How frustrating.
