World Health Innovation Summit (WHIS) AFRICA
At World Health Innovation Summit (WHIS) Africa, we are building a healthier future through collaboration, innovation, and community empowerment.
Across the continent, from Nairobi to Cape Town, Accra to Lagos, WHIS Africa brings together healthcare leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs, policymakers, NGOs, and citizens to co-create sustainable solutions that promote wellbeing and tackle health inequalities at their roots.
By aligning with national health strategies and the African Union’s Agenda 2063, we champion locally driven, prevention-focused, and culturally relevant health innovation. WHIS Africa supports the development of resilient health systems that are ready for the future — climate-smart, digitally enabled, and people-centred.
