Zambia will host the third annual International Conference on Public Health in Africa (CPHIA) from November 27 to 30, 2023. The CPHIA is a convening of African leaders, policymakers, public health professionals, and other stakeholders to discuss and address the most pressing public health challenges facing the continent.
This year’s CPHIA theme is “Breaking Barriers: Repositioning Africa in the Global Health Architecture.” This theme reflects the growing recognition that Africa must play a more leading role in shaping the global health agenda. The CPHIA 2023 will focus on a range of issues, including:
Pandemic preparedness and resilient financing mechanisms for Africa
Fostering African-led innovation in vaccines, diagnostics, and therapeutics
Delivering universal health coverage in Africa through strengthened and equitable health systems
Access to adequate healthcare for young girls and women in Africa
Safeguarding Africa’s health security from health emergencies, biosecurity, climate change, and other threats
Transforming health in Africa through digital innovation
The CPHIA 2023 is expected to attract over 5,000 participants from over 50 countries. The conference will feature plenary sessions, abstract sessions, side events, and other networking opportunities.
Statements from others on the CPHIA 2023:
