AFRIHEALTH OPTONET ASSOCIATION (AHOA)
Dear Neil,
Afrihealth Optonet Association (AHOA) is delighted to announce its ‘Life & Health’ Dialogue Series 2026, a year-long global platform convening thought leaders, policymakers, youth, faith leaders, media, civil society, and private sector actors to explore pressing issues at the intersection of Health, Climate Action, and Sustainable Development. This 52-week series will provide an interactive forum for sharing knowledge, advancing solutions, and fostering partnerships to achieve sustainable, people-centered development outcomes.
Participants will engage in weekly dialogues covering topics such as climate-resilient health systems, renewable energy for healthcare, sustainable agriculture and nutrition, digital health innovations, citizen science, mental health, and universal health coverage in a climate-stressed world. Every week in 2026, a different ‘Life & Health’ Issue will be featured and discussed. Each session will feature expert presentations, interactive discussions, Q&A, and practical action-oriented solutions, offering participants an opportunity to influence policies and practices at national and global levels.
We warmly invite policymakers, health professionals, civil society actors, youth leaders, faith-based organizations, media practitioners, researchers, and private sector innovators to join this unique initiative. Participation is free and open to all interested stakeholders committed to advancing health, climate action, and sustainable development.
