Get ready for a crucial discussion on health emergencies in Africa! A special press briefing, hosted by Africa CDC, is set to address the continent's public health challenges and response strategies.
This Thursday, Dr. Jean Kaseya, Africa CDC's Director-General, will lead the briefing, joined by an esteemed guest, Hon. Dr. Austin Demby, Sierra Leone's Minister of Health and Sanitation. Together, they'll provide an insightful overview of the current health landscape in Africa, shedding light on regional efforts and the importance of collaboration.
But here's where it gets controversial... While Africa CDC aims to strengthen health security, the question arises: Are the current measures enough? Can we do more to ensure the well-being of our communities?
Join us on November 13th, 2025, at 16:00hrs East Africa Time (GMT +3), to delve into these critical topics.
The briefing will cover updates on public health across Africa, with a focus on regional response efforts and collaboration. Dr. Kaseya and Dr. Demby will discuss how we can collectively enhance our preparedness and health security measures.
And this is the part most people miss... It's not just about the big picture; it's about the impact on individuals and communities. How can we ensure that our health systems are resilient and accessible to all?
The briefing will be accessible virtually via Zoom, with interpretation available in English and French. Media representatives can submit questions during the briefing or ask live via Zoom. For those unable to join, a live stream link will be provided soon.
