The 2nd International Conference on Public Health in Africa (CPHIA 2022) is a three-day, in-person conference that will provide a unique platform for African researchers, policymakers and stakeholders to come together and share perspectives and research findings in public health while ushering in a new era of strengthened scientific collaboration and innovation across the continent. Building on CPHIA 2021, this year’s conference will also serve as a catalyst to build more resilient health systems that allow African countries to better prepare for and manage emerging health threats while also addressing long-standing infectious diseases. 

CPHIA 2022 will be held in person from 13 to 15 December 2022 in Kigali, Rwanda. Official side events will begin on 12 December.

CPHIA is hosted by the Africa CDC and African Union, in partnership with the Rwanda Ministry of Health and Rwanda Biomedical Center. Planning is supported by several conference committees, including a Scientific Programme Committee that includes leading health experts from Africa and around the world.

CPHIA 2022 aims to reach individuals from academic and government institutions; national, regional, community and faith-based organizations; private sector firms; as well as researchers, front-line health workers and advocates. Anyone, however, is welcome to participate in the conference.
