An unique event at the Hungary–Africa Week 

For the first time in the history of the Hungary–Africa Week, we are dedicating a special day to health and healthcare. 

The aim of the Healthcare Day is to create a platform where Hungarian and African professionals, institutions, decision-makers and civil organizations can engage in dialogue about field experiences, innovations in health preservation and best practices in health development. 

The program provides an opportunity for the professional perspectives of the two regions to meet, paving the way for new approaches, shared thinking and long-term cooperation. In addition, our goal is to support sustainable healthcare solutions, strengthen knowledge exchange and launch joint initiatives that contribute to the well-being of communities in both regions over the long term.
