This year’s forum will discuss major developments in the healthcare sector in Africa, especially in times of COVID-19. The focal topic will therefore be "Beyond Pandemic Preparedness: Strengthening Healthcare Systems in Africa during and after COVID-19", also taking into account the digitalization process in the health sector. Global cooperation and public-private partnerships also play a big role and will be discussed during the upcoming forum.
