Africa holds the world’s greatest genetic diversity, yet remains underrepresented in global health research. Dr Abasi examined the consequences of this gap, from limited African participation in clinical trials to the lack of data needed to demonstrate the continent’s healthcare needs to pharmaceutical investors. Building stronger health data systems and expanding research participation are essential to ensuring African populations are better represented in the evidence shaping tomorrow’s medicines and treatments. #FHC2026 #TheFutureOfHealthIsNow

At #FHC2026, Dr. Abasi Eno-Obong, Founder of Syndicate Bio, shares a presentation on how access to genomic data can help clinicians better understand diseases and make more informed decisions about patient care and treatment. For patients across Africa, expanding access to locally available, affordable diagnostic testing could make a real difference in how diseases are understood and treated. #TheFutureOfHealthIsNow

Reflecting on the journey of @nighealthwatch at #FHC2026, Dr @Chikwe_I highlights how health advocacy can move from building public awareness to driving change and strengthening institutions. As health challenges persist and funding becomes more constrained, sustaining this work is essential to keeping health priorities visible, supporting accountability and ensuring that evidence informs action. The work of health advocacy does not end when an issue gains attention. It continues until that attention helps drive change. #TheFutureOfHealthIsNow
