The road to APSS 2027

The next Summit is planned for 2027. Patient experience and learning from implementation will help shape its priorities and inform wider collaboration. Further details will be announced as plans develop.

Building on the learning from Kigali

The 2026 Leadership Forum defined shared priorities for preventing medication-related harm across Africa. Medicines for Africa is now taking these priorities forward through the development of practical projects and the Africa Patient Safety Compact—connecting institutions, patient experience and evidence to support action and learning.

Priorities defined

The 2026 Leadership Forum defined shared priorities for preventing medication-related harm, drawing on patient, clinical, regulatory, research and industry perspectives.

Developing practical projects

MFA is translating these priorities into projects designed to test approaches in real settings and generate learning for wider action.

Building a shared framework

The Africa Patient Safety Compact is being developed alongside practical projects, connecting shared ambition with institutional responsibilities and learning.

Programme and participation

The 2027 programme and contributor arrangements remain in development. No speaker roster or registration arrangements are announced here. The 2026 partnerships do not constitute commitments for 2027.
