AMIU Champions Global Health Security as Key Sponsor of EARGHSS 2025
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, global health security has become an urgent priority, spotlighting the need for resilient, interconnected systems capable of tackling acute health threats. Against this backdrop, the East Africa Region Global Health Security Summit (EARGHSS) 2025 emerges as a pivotal platform for collaboration and innovation. Amref International University (AMIU) proudly stands as a vital sponsor of this landmark event, which is set to take place from January 28th to 30th, 2025, at the Prideinn Paradise Beach Resort & Convention Center, Mombasa, Kenya.
AMIU: A Frontline Advocate for Health Security
On September 19, 2024, AMIU hosted the official media launch for EARGHSS 2025 at its state-of-the-art auditorium. The event, held in partnership with the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Africa CDC, and Kenya Vision 2030, underscored AMIU’s commitment to advancing sustainable strategies for health system strengthening across East Africa. During the launch, AMIU Vice Chancellor Professor Peter Osur emphasized the university’s role in championing innovative solutions to primary healthcare challenges, stating, “Our collective action today shapes the health security of tomorrow. AMIU is proud to be at the forefront of fostering partnerships that safeguard our communities.”
A Summit Designed for Impact
EARGHSS 2025 is more than just a conference; it is a roadmap for action. The summit will bring together academicians, policymakers, health professionals, innovators, and industry leaders to address critical topics, including pandemic preparedness, biosecurity, health equity, and the integration of cutting-edge technologies like AI and big data. Through a mix of plenary sessions, panel discussions, workshops, and exhibitions, participants will collaboratively develop actionable strategies for bolstering health systems and mitigating the risks posed by emerging infectious diseases and bioterrorism.
Why EARGHSS 2025 Matters
East Africa is at a critical juncture where increasing urbanization, climate change, and interconnected global networks heighten vulnerability to health emergencies. EARGHSS 2025 aims to foster a “whole-of-community” approach by bringing non-health and non-governmental stakeholders into the conversation. This inclusive model ensures that novel insights and extensive resources beyond traditional health institutions are harnessed for greater regional impact.
AMIU’s Role as a Catalyst for Change
As a leading institution in health sciences education and research, AMIU’s involvement extends beyond sponsorship. The university is driving knowledge-sharing initiatives and facilitating critical conversations that will shape the future of health security. The media launch further solidified AMIU’s position as a frontrunner in the global health security ecosystem.
Join the Movement
The countdown to EARGHSS 2025 has begun, and the call to action is clear: collaboration, innovation, and resilience are key to addressing the region’s health challenges. AMIU invites policymakers, researchers, industry leaders, and innovators to join this transformative event and contribute to a safer, healthier future for all.
