Across Africa, the lack of good primary healthcare facilities is evident in most communities, especially remote ones. Disease outbreaks, high mortality, and the rise in non-communicable diseases are affecting the booming population of the various societies of the continents.

Declaring it’s commitment to take concrete steps to improve health equity across sectors and geographies and to help build a resilient and inclusive global economy that drives value for all, the Federal Government of Nigeria has expressed it’s commitment to adopt initiatives of 2023 Africa Center for Disease Control Youth pre- conference to achieve practical improvements in public health in the country

The Honourable Minister of Youth Development, Dr. Jamila Bio-Ibrahim made this known while delivering her keynote address at the occasion held in Lusaka, capital of Zambia, recently.

In a statement by the Head, Press & Public Relations Unit, Maryam Umar Yusuf, the Minister assured members that resolutions from the conference will be adopted in Nigeria in collaboration with Nigerian Center of Disease Control and the Federal Ministry of Health.

“This is an initiative we also commit to adopt in Nigeria in collaboration with Nigeria CDC and the Federal Ministry of Health.” She said.

The Africa CDC Youth Pre-Conference (YPC 2023), with the theme “Youth Leadership for a safer and healthier Africa,” is actualising this to forge innovative solutions for health security through initiatives

According to the organisers, the overall goal of the Africa CDC Youth Pre-Conference is to advance and institutionalise the
strategic engagement between Africa CDC and young people by providing a space for young people to critically reflect on the current state of public health in Africa, to share perspectives on the role of young people in public health, and exchange prospects and innovative solutions to enhance meaningful youth engagement in this area.

From records, the African continent with at least 65% of the population under the age of 30 has the world’s largest demography of young people.

Africa has an opportunity for the growth of the youth, but only when these new generations are fully empowered to realize their best potential. It is very important that young people are included in decision-making and given appropriate opportunities to work and innovate.
Youth innovation and participation in health systems are vital to building a safer and healthier Africa.
