On 25 May 2019, AFREhealth celebrates Africa Day together with the rest of the continent. AFREhealth is actively working to change Afro-pessimism into a desire to solve pressing African issues through purposeful partnerships, inclusive networks and a Africa-focused community, taking us into a feisty Africa future.

AFREhealth is ideally situated to facilitate innovative health professions education, research agendas and social responsibility to address opportunities and challenges that are shaping Africa’s integration into the global economy.

Let us celebrate Africa’s richness of cultures, peoples, resources and futures together on this Africa Day.
