Climate change is one of the greatest health challenges of our time.

In Africa, over half of public health emergencies in the past two decades have been linked to climate-related risks. To respond, @AfricaCDC has launched its Climate Change & Health Strategic Framework to help strengthen health systems and build resilience.

SAY YES TO HEALTH: Youth Belong at the Center of Global Health.

The 2025 edition of the @AfricaCDC Conference on Public Health in Africa - #CPHIA2025 has officially come to an end. However, the importance of youth at the center of global health cannot be overemphasized.

The conference has yet again proven to be a special one as it explicitly included youth as one of the constituent groups alongside political leaders, policymakers, researchers, and civil society.

This recognition reflects Africa CDC’s position that young people aren’t just beneficiaries of health programs — they are vital partners for innovation, community engagement, and health-security efforts.

The major highlight of the youth engagement session at the #CPHIA2025 is the launch of the Africa CDC Strategy for Youth Engagement and Participation in Global Health (2025-2028), which was designed to mobilize, empower, and engage young Africans in shaping the continent’s public health future.

This is also an opportunity to express our heartfelt appreciation to our biggest partner, @GIZAfricanUnion, for the immense support that paved the way for our new milestone.

You can find below highlights that mark the major milestones that have been achieved so far.

Some days remind you exactly why you chose to serve. Aug 9, 2025, was one of those days.
From the early morning setup to the last patient's smile, every moment reinforced the importance of bringing healthcare closer to the ones who need it most.
