Overview

 The future of Public Health Conference, FPHC 2025 will bring together world leaders, health experts, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to address pressing challenges in Public Health, for Nigeria and indeed Africa. The Conference will focus on enhancing cooperation, improving health systems, and developing strategies to prevent, detect, and respond to urgent public health challenges & threats, including epidemics, digital disruptions and bioterrorism. 

Nigeria, a historical focal point of reference for emerging infectious diseases and other health threats; however, its strong partnerships and burgeoning infrastructure create unique strengths that can be leveraged to create a resilient health framework that will strength service delivery and manpower development through a synergistic approach. 

The powerful lessons from Ebola and the COVID-19 pandemic are generating growing interest in the private sector, and the Academia to take on more active role in public health (Coordination, Communication, Health System etc).
