A recent consultation in the local area brought together 230 participants to help shape health priorities for Africa's future. The event included youth-led groups, health professionals, students, and young innovators, as well as individuals from internally displaced persons camps and people with disabilities. The consultation aimed to inform the World Health Organization's African Regional Strategic Plan and Vision 2035.

Given Africa's young population, with over 60% of people under 25, youth perspectives are crucial in health planning. Further details about the consultation and its outcomes are available from ReliefWeb, which provides more information on this initiative and its goals for universal health coverage and primary health care.
