Dr. Kingsley Badu delivered a compelling speech on “Improving the Livelihood of African Communities through the One Health Approach and FAIR Data Principles: A Call for Collaborative Action.”

His presentation traced the journey of the multi-country One Health network, linking human, animal, and environmental health data across Africa and beyond. From pioneering diagnostics in Nigeria to expanded collaborations across Ghana, Cameroon, Chad, and Tanzania, the network has grown into a model of harmonized research and ethical governance.

Dr. Badu emphasized the importance of:

✅ AI-powered diagnostic evaluations

✅ Cross-continental partnerships bridging Africa, Europe, and Asia

✅ Coordinated efforts in ethics, climate health, laboratory methods, data science, and community engagement

The message was clear, sustainable solutions for Africa’s health and development challenges require collaborative action, shared data, and collective responsibility.

His delivery was powerful, visionary, and an inspiring reminder of what can be achieved when knowledge, technology, and partnerships come together.
