On March 15, 2018, The AFREhealth and CUGH leadership organized a Satellite session at the Hilton Hotel in New York City, USA prior to the 2018 CUGH Conference. The name of this Satellite session was, “AFREhealth and CUGH: Plotting an Actionable Path Forward for Collaborative Partnerships”. The outcome from this session was the formation of the AFREhealth-CUGH Working Group (ACWG), an initiative to consolidate a partnership between both organizations that would focus on particular areas of collaboration; define clear terms of reference,and develop plans to initiate the work. The ACWG identified three pillars as:
a) Health professions education for health systems strengthening;
b) Research and Leadership;
c) Student Exchanges.

On May 12 every year, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) focuses on the need for nurses to become more active and vocal in policy development and implementation. This year, AFREhealth is privileged to celebrate International Nurses day with the Nurses on our Governing Council, in our institutions, our membership, and across the whole of Africa.
Nurses are Africa’s frontline health care workers who work tirelessly every day in all sorts of challenging circumstances to make a difference to the health of the people of Africa. Nurses are essential in transforming health care and health systems so that nobody is left behind, without access to care or impoverished because of their need for health care.
Happy Nurses Day!
