The event has attracted a wide range of participants, including government officials, healthcare professionals, researchers, and representatives from non-governmental organizations. The goal of the conference is to identify key health issues in Africa and develop strategies to improve healthcare delivery and outcomes on the continent.

A key focus of the event is on building strong partnerships between governments, international organizations, and the private sector to support healthcare initiatives in Africa. Participants will share best practices and innovative solutions to address the continent’s health challenges and work towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being.
