What will it take to turn health innovation into real impact for people across Africa?
At the Future of Health Conference, convened by @nighealthwatch under the theme “From Innovation to Impact: The Future of Health Is Now,” conversations are exploring how technology, healthcare entrepreneurship and homegrown expertise can help address persistent gaps in healthcare delivery.
For Africa, the question is not just what is possible, but how we make innovation work for the people and communities who need it most.

“What began as a blog has grown into an organisation helping shape conversations about Nigeria’s health system.”
Reflecting on the journey of @nighealthwatch at #FHC2026, Dr @Chikwe_I traced how knowledge became consciousness, consciousness became advocacy, and advocacy led to building an organisation committed to keeping critical health issues on the public agenda.
His story is a reminder that meaningful change begins with understanding a problem and finding the courage to act on it.

Africa’s genetic diversity holds immense potential to shape the future of medicine. But unlocking that potential starts with ensuring African populations are represented in genomic research.
Here is a glimpse of our latest #CuratedConversations with Dr Abasi Ene-Obong, Founder and CEO of Syndicate Bio, as he shares insights on genomic equity, biotechnology and the future of precision medicine in Africa.

Health misinformation can influence treatment decisions, undermine trust in health workers and put lives at risk. Countering it requires more than correcting false claims. It demands clear communication, credible evidence and an understanding of the people we serve.
Today, we explored these issues at our Health Professionals Communication and Advocacy Learning Programme.
