Health experts from Africa gathered in Harare for their fourth annual meeting. The Regional National Public Health Institutes conference focuses on sharing information and building stronger health systems. Leaders want African countries to take control of their medical futures. The meeting aims to help nations prepare for disease outbreaks and other health emergencies.

Zimbabwe's Health Minister Douglas Mombeshora addressed the opening ceremony. He said COVID-19 and diseases like Marburg revealed serious problems with African health systems. The minister described a New Public Health Order that African leaders created. This plan has five main parts that include stronger health institutes and local medicine production. Mombeshora wants all 55 African Union countries to build working health institutes.

The World Health Organization sent a representative to the conference. Dr Desta Tiruneh warned that global health funding continues to decrease. He said health problems around the world keep growing despite less financial support. The WHO recently published new guidelines to help countries improve their health systems.

Dr Tiruneh emphasized that disease prevention and healthcare access must work together. The pandemic taught important lessons about protecting public health. He believes African nations can learn from each other through meetings like this one. The conference provides a chance for countries to share successful strategies and build partnerships.
