Presidential dialogue on high-threat pathogens [1]

Why this room, this week

Africa’s borders cut across communities, ecosystems, markets and transport networks. A country can hold strong national preparedness and remain exposed if its border districts are disconnected.

Collaboration during Ebola, Marburg and mpox has been real but event-based: agreements signed in an emergency, stood down once it passes. AI, machine learning and advanced analytics can turn that reactive posture into preparedness intelligence: anticipating threats, forecasting impact and directing investment before a local event becomes a regional emergency.
