Theme: Health for all, Health everywhere: Synergies in creating Health and Promoting Trade and Economic Development along Transport Corridors in Africa

As global mobility increases, the urgent need to address the risk of diseases spreading across borders and within countries becomes more pronounced, adversely affecting transport logistics, supply chains, and trade. In response, North Star Alliance and the Northern Corridor Transit Transport Coordination Authority (NCTTCA) are organizing a pivotal conference to unite industry leaders, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and community advocates to tackle the unique and pressing challenges facing Africa’s transport supply chain.

These challenges include trade barriers like the vulnerability of mobile populations, such as truck drivers, who are at high risk of contracting and transmitting diseases but often lack access to adequate healthcare.
