It was such a pleasure to be part of the organizing committee for this successful conference, a first of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa. Healing The Brain : Nairobi 2023 @AKU_BMI
Brain health is our wealth. Beyond the conference, each of us remains a champion of mental and brain health as a human right and will advocate for laws to support the realization of this aspiration. The Nairobi Statement on Brain Health is a living document that inspires our collective action across the globe for mental health and wellness.
