The World Health Organisation (WHO), African Region and West African Health Organisation (WAHO) have identified major areas of collaboration for improved health in the sub-region.

The move followed a hybrid meeting of high-level delegation, led by WAHO Director-General, Prof. Stanley Okolo, during a visit to WHO Regional Director for Africa, Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, at WHO-AFRO Headquarters in Brazzaville, Congo.

Their partnership over the past five years, according to them, has yielded significant milestones, including improvements in epidemic surveillance and response under the World Bank-funded Regional Disease Surveillance Systems Enhancement project established in 2017, adoption and enforcement of tobacco control laws in Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Mauritania and the Gambia, as well as strengthening of regulatory capacity for food and non-alcoholic beverages in 11 ECOWAS states and tobacco tax...

“I understand the surveillance architecture in West Africa. Pre-Ebola was less advanced than pre-COVID19, which is a testimony to the benefits of working together to improve health security in the region. REDISSE really helped in terms of building national public health institutes across ECOWAS member-states and expanding the epidemiology workforce,” Okolo added.
