[Nigeria Health Watch -Future of Health Conference @nighealthwatch]

The parallel session on the 7-1-7 framework and Epidemics That Didn’t Happen, led by @ResolveTSL, is ongoing at #FHC2026.

The session is exploring how civil society organisations can use evidence and practical advocacy tools to identify gaps in outbreak preparedness, make specific funding requests and hold decision-makers accountable for action.

We loved being at the conference and will share more on our blog. For now, watch, like, and share.
