The West African Health Organisation (WAHO) has launched on Monday 29 September 2025, a three-day workshop in Monrovia, Liberia, to advance regional cooperation in medical evaluation, harmonising immunisation days, and creating a regional procurement system for health commodities.
In his opening remarks, Dr. Gorbee Logan, Liberiaโs Assistant Minister of Health, stressed that regional solidarity is vital to address cross-border health threats. He highlighted Liberiaโs priorities: stronger surveillance and lab networks, pooled procurement of medicines, greater investment in health worker training, and improved regional referral systems.
Ambassador Josephine Nkrumah, ECOWAS Resident Representative in Liberia, emphasised that citizen wellbeing is central to ECOWAS transformation. She called for stronger collaboration among countries, better food and water hygiene, school nutrition initiatives, and the scientific development of Africaโs traditional medicine.
The workshop reaffirms WAHOโs mission to strengthen health systems and foster collective action across ECOWAS Member States.
