Beyond COVID-19: Strengthening Africa’s health systems to address current & future health priorities

About The Webinar

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, and African countries’ response strategies must also evolve to reflect new and ongoing health priorities, challenges, and opportunities. As countries shift from crisis response to long-term control strategies, the integration of COVID-19 management into broader health systems is critical for achieving health equity and health security.

Join Africa’s leading health experts and policymakers for a discussion on how we can sustain momentum around pandemic preparedness, equitable recovery, and COVID-19 vaccination in Africa — while also ensuring that other health issues and deadly diseases are prioritized.​
