About the 2026 event
Africa
Health
Awards &
Summit
The world is at a crucial point for global health. The merging of increasing geopolitical tensions, climate unpredictability, growing inequalities, and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the fragility of health systems and worsened disparities in access, quality, and outcomes. While scientific and technological progress present unmatched opportunities, too many communities, especially in low- and middle-income countries, remain on the sidelines of innovation and investment.
At the same time, global cooperation is being put to the test. These dynamics demand a rethinking of how health systems are designed, governed, financed, and sustained, with equity, resilience, and local agency at their core.
Against this backdrop, the Africa Health Summit and Awards 2026 (AHAS2026) will convene in Kigali, Rwanda, as a high-impact platform to reimagine, realign, and reinvigorate the African health agenda. Anchored in the theme “Advancing Equity, Innovation & Resilience in Global Health,” the Summit will take place on Thursday May 7th, 2026 and will bring together senior leaders from government, industry, civil society, academia, philanthropy, and global institutions to move from commitments to collective action.
Celebrating Excellence in Healthcare -Awards Ceremony: Celebrate outstanding teams, individuals, and organizations from Africa and the diaspora across the board in healthcare. Showcasing impactful projects and innovative solutions in a glamorous evening of awards and cultural performances.
