More than half of Africa's population still cannot access the health services they need. At #AHAIC2027, Africa comes together, on African soil and open to the world, to close that gap.

Closing borders doesn't stop outbreaks; it pushes cross-border movement into harder-to-monitor routes. Africa needs coordinated, government-led responses that prioritise preparedness over panic, strengthen surveillance at border points and communities, accelerate early detection and invest in trusted community awareness.
At #AHAIC2027, African health leaders, policymakers and partners will champion greater investment in resilient health systems, stronger #PublicHealth infrastructure and cross-border collaboration to protect communities against emerging health threats.
Africa’s #HealthSecurity depends not on closing borders, but on building the capacity to detect, prevent and respond to outbreaks wherever they emerge.

Closing borders does not stop an outbreak. It pushes people onto routes we cannot see.
Last week, at the Extraordinary Ministerial Meeting on Ebola, I asked Ministers to keep borders open and invest in preparedness and public health measures instead. I also asked that every response stay under government leadership, with one national plan.
To support this, Africa CDC and the World Health Organization (WHO) are tracking response funding so that every government knows what it is receiving and where it is going. Africa CDC will stand behind every government that leads.

Fermer les frontières n'arrête pas une épidémie. Cela pousse les personnes vers des routes que nous ne voyons pas.
Lors de la réunion ministérielle extraordinaire sur Ebola, j'ai demandé aux ministres de garder les frontières ouvertes et d'investir plutôt dans la préparation et les mesures de santé publique. J'ai aussi demandé que chaque riposte reste sous la direction du gouvernement, avec un seul plan national.
Pour accompagner cela, Africa CDC et l'OMS assurent le suivi des financements de la riposte, afin que chaque gouvernement sache ce qu'il reçoit et où cet argent est utilisé.

Training a health worker is only the beginning. Supporting continuous learning is just as important.
Through the Global Health Workforce Programme II, @amref_malawi supported the digitisation of 3 CPD modules to strengthen health worker performance & quality care.

'I want to see my child grow up healthy' Brandina's wish echoes the hopes of many mothers.

A borehole is more than a source of water.
It means safer water for families, reduced risk of waterborne diseases & more time for the things that matter, school & livelihoods. See what access to safe water means for a community in Zomba📽️youtu.be/aIyaSlL1ZBk

Doing more with less starts with working better together.
Today, we joined other NGOs, the government, & development partners at #NGODay2026 in Lilongwe. At our booth, we showcased how Amref is working with communities & partners to improve health across Malawi.

Africa’s health future must move from dialogue to delivery.
Key issues that shaped conversations at #UNGA81, from financing and sovereignty to pandemic preparedness and climate resilience, will take centre stage at #AHAIC2027 in Kigali as we turn global commitments into African-led action.
Read @daktari1's reflections on what it will take to finance, build and deliver that future: newsroom.amref.org/op-ed/202…

From #outbreak to #protection.
In Zomba & Mulanje, #measles outbreaks have changed minds. Parents who once hesitated are now actively seeking #vaccination.
When communities experience the risk, prevention becomes personal. #MeaslesVaccine #Malawi
The conversation went beyond academic success. We explored staying motivated, building leadership skills & navigating the challenges & opportunities that come with professional growth.
@amref_malawi staff shared lessons from their own career journeys.

Climate resilience must be built where care begins: in communities.
That requires financed primary health care, prepared health workers, effective early-warning systems and practical response plans.
Climate finance must reach the front lines.
