4th International Conference on Public Health in Africa (CPHIA 2025)

The 4th International Conference on Public Health in Africa (CPHIA 2025) will be hosted in October 2025 at the Durban International Convention Centre. This year’s theme is: “Moving towards self-reliance to achieve universal health coverage and health security in Africa.”

Date: 23-25 October 2025

Location: Durban International Convention Centre, Durban, South Africa. 

The annual International Conference on Public Health in Africa (CPHIA) is organised by the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) and provides a unique African-led platform for leaders across the continent to reflect on lessons learned in health and science and to share innovative and practical evidence-based public health solutions to champion Africa’s health challenges.

CPHIA aims to engage this diverse gathering to support building strong, resilient and equitable health systems, preparing Africa for the next pandemic and accelerating the local manufacturing of vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics in Africa. This year’s conference theme is: “Moving Towards Self-reliance to Achieve Universal Health Coverage and Health Security in Africa”.

As African countries accelerate the realisation of universal health coverage, annual CPHIAs are helping define how the continent can become more self-reliant in the delivery of public health solutions to achieve a healthier, more prosperous Africa.

Abstract submission deadline, 17th of September.
