Africa CDC and Ethiopia inaugurate the CPHIA 2026 (conference and related activities) in Ethiopia, according to reports from Premium Times and AllAfrica. At the inauguration ceremony, Hadera Abera, Ethiopia’s State Minister of Foreign Affairs, says the event reflects Africa’s determination to build a healthier and more resilient continent. The two outlets describe the inauguration as part of broader efforts to strengthen public health capacity and cooperation across Africa through programs supported or coordinated by Africa CDC. The reports do not provide detailed information on the agenda, participating countries, or specific activities planned under CPHIA 2026, but they consistently frame the inauguration as a continental public health milestone tied to Ethiopia’s role as host. Both sources attribute the statement about resilience and health improvement to the Ethiopian minister during the event.
