Tracking Health Security Progress and Building Resilience in Africa
The world is shifting from a period of urgent health action to one of growing neglect, even as biological threats continue to rise. Against this backdrop, the 2026 Africa Health Security (AHS) Index shows significant progress has been made across the continent – but substantial gaps remain. In this event, the Brown University Pandemic Center, Economist Enterprise, and the Science for Africa Foundation discuss the findings and recommendations of the 2026 AHS Index, an independent assessment of health security capacities in Africa. This webinar convened global experts and policymakers to discuss how the AHS Index can shape policy decision-making and drive action to strengthen health security capacities and improve preparedness for future epidemics and pandemics.
