The 2026 Leadership Forum
The inaugural APSS Leadership Forum was held in partnership with the African Medicines Agency at AMA headquarters in Kigali on 16–17 September 2026. Participants brought patient, clinical, regulatory, research and industry perspectives into discussions on preventing medication-related harm.

The beginning of sustained work
The Forum brought together experience and perspectives on medicines-related risks, the flow of safety information, patient experience and institutional response. These discussions now inform the follow-up coordinated by MFA.
