Here are some key moments from the guided tour.

Health systems cannot afford innovation that ends at the pilot stage. The real measure of innovation is its ability to improve lives at scale.
At the Future of Health Conference 2026, we will explore how innovation, within and beyond the health sector, is driving measurable impact and what more is needed to improve health outcomes in Nigeria.

More health agencies do not always mean better health outcomes.
In this #NHWPost, @VIhekweazu examines the growing push to establish new health parastatals despite overlapping mandates, limited resources and global shifts towards stronger, more integrated health systems.

Lasting progress in menstrual health begins when young people are given the knowledge, confidence, and support to speak openly about periods without shame or stigma.
To mark #WorldMenstrualHygieneDay 2026, we, in collaboration with @NoGirlWOAPad, visited City Royal Primary and Secondary School, Nyanya, Abuja, for an outreach themed: “Together for a #PeriodFriendlyWorld.”

Health financing is the defining test of resilient and self-sustaining health systems.
In this #NHWPost, @VIhekweazu draws insights from the “One Vision, One Future: Shaping the Next Chapter of Health Financing in Africa” session at #WHA79, highlighting how declining donor funding is pushing African countries to take greater ownership of sustainable, locally funded healthcare systems.

What if the next pandemic had just 100 days before it spread worldwide?
From #Ebola to #COVID19, the world has learned, often the hard way, that outbreaks don’t wait for preparedness. Now, a bold global effort led by the @CEPIvaccines is rethinking how fast we can respond, aiming to develop and authorise safe, effective vaccines within 100days of a new threat.

Can reforms make primary health care trusted, funded, and functional for everyone?
In this #NHWPost by @ibk_og and @t_chinwendu, @DrPavelUrsu argues that alignment, domestic financing, and community trust will determine whether universal health coverage in Nigeria becomes real.

Africa is often at the centre of global discussions on infectious disease. As a result, pathogen samples and genomic data from the continent can play a key role in developing vaccines, diagnostics, and treatments.
As negotiations continue on the #PABS system, several African countries are signing bilateral health agreements with external partners.
This raises questions about whether countries sharing outbreak data will receive equitable access to the medical countermeasures developed from it, and whether these bilateral deals will complement or complicate the PABS framework.

Always delighted to return to the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, which, like for thousands of other health professionals, provided me with essential knowledge and training for my career in infectious disease control and public health.
More than three decades later, the London School is still demonstrating its commitment to knowledge sharing, excellence and partnership, including through its Centre for Global Chronic Conditions, a @WHO Collaborating Centre on Health Systems and Chronic Conditions.
I was grateful to the Centre’s leadership, and to @CMO_England Professor Chris Whitty, for welcoming and briefing my team today on its superb work.
I look forward to the London School joining the almost 800 other institutions we partner with globally at the first Global Forum of WHO Collaborating Centres, which opens on World Health Day, 7 April, in Lyon, France. tinyurl.com/2ks7zvjh

As Nigeria pushes forward with health sector reforms, one question deserves sharper attention: are states matching ambition with adequate investment?

A twice-yearly HIV prevention injection could shift the HIV landscape in Nigeria. But without deliberate action on access, affordability, and delivery, innovation will not reach those who need it most.
In this #NHWPost, @olikendrick_ & @S_0ko02 make the case for why access, affordability, and delivery must be prioritised now if twice-yearly lenacapavir is to strengthen Nigeria’s HIV prevention response.

Across Africa, bilateral health agreements are shifting aid from open-ended support to co-financed deals with clear exit timelines.
As negotiations on the @WHO Pathogen Access and Benefit-Sharing (#PABS) system are set to resume in Geneva in January 2026, questions about data, ownership, and power in global health are becoming harder to ignore.
This article examines the U.S.–Africa bilateral health MoUs under the America First Global Health Strategy, and what it could mean for the future of health cooperation.

When countries channel health taxes into strategic investments, it improves both health and economic outcomes in a country.
By investing in healthcare, we can create a ripple effect of positive change that benefits individuals, communities, and the economy as a whole.
