KAVI-Institute of Clinical Research (KAVI-ICR), University of Nairobi, is proud to highlight the participation of Prof Omu Anzala at the World Health Summit Regional Meeting 2026.

At the meeting, Prof Anzala contributed to discussions on pandemic preparedness, with a focus on strengthening systems that enable timely, effective, and equitable responses to emerging health threats. These conversations are particularly relevant for Africa, where building resilient research, surveillance, and response capacity remains a priority.

At KAVI-ICR, pandemic preparedness is closely linked to ongoing efforts in laboratory strengthening, clinical research infrastructure, and the development of locally driven solutions. Representation at forums such as the World Health Summit reinforces the importance of ensuring that African perspectives and expertise are central in global decision-making.
