Speaking during the meeting, Senator Imasuen commended the organisers for championing a transformative initiative aimed at strengthening Africa’s healthcare workforce, stressing that investing in the continuous training and development of medical professionals is indispensable to improving healthcare delivery.
He reaffirmed his commitment to supporting initiatives that strengthen healthcare institutions, promote professional excellence and encourage strategic partnerships capable of delivering lasting benefits to healthcare workers and the communities they serve.
