Africa's leadership for a new world health order.
The future of global health cannot be decided without Africa. AHAIC 2027 convenes governments, communities, youth, researchers, investors and frontline workers to shape what comes next, grounded in equity, resilience, sovereignty, and African leadership.

A new world health order, written in Africa.
Global health is changing. A shrinking aid landscape and shifting geopolitics. Climate threats intensifying. Pandemics, infectious diseases, and the growing burden of non-communicable diseases continue to test health systems across the continent. Meanwhile, inequities persist, leaving millions without access to the care they need and deserve.
AHAIC 2027 brings together governments, communities, youth leaders, researchers, investors, frontline health workers, innovators, private sector leaders, and development partners to shape what a new world health order should look like, one grounded in equity, resilience, sovereignty, and African leadership.
The largest gathering of African health leaders.
Two years ago in Kigali we set a new bar for what continental convening looks like. AHAIC 2027 builds on that momentum, broader, bolder, and more action-oriented.
Six tracks shaping the agenda.
From climate & health to financing sovereignty — every pillar is built around action, partnership and measurable outcomes for the continent.
Health Financing & Sovereignty
PILLAR 01Re-imagining how African health systems are funded — from domestic budgets to blended finance and continental risk pools.
NCDs & the Next Burden
PILLAR 04Confronting the silent epidemic — cardiovascular disease, diabetes, mental health and cancer across African populations.
Climate, Conflict & Health Resilience
PILLAR 02The intersection of a warming planet, displacement, and the systems that must absorb their shocks.
Youth, Community & Equity
PILLAR 05Centering the people closest to the problem — community health workers, young leaders, and the millions left behind.
Pandemic Preparedness & PHC
PILLAR 03Building primary care that can hold the line — from frontline workforce to surveillance and emergency response.
Innovation, Data & AI for Health
PILLAR 06Made-in-Africa solutions, sovereign data, and the responsible deployment of AI in clinical and public-health settings.
