Medication-related harm is one of the most preventable yet under-recognised causes of death in Africa. It costs lives and undermines economies. It affects every part of the medicines ecosystem, and so, no single profession, institution or sector can solve it alone. Coordinated action is essential to keep the scale of preventable harm from outpacing our ability to prevent it.
On 16–17 September 2026, invited leaders and experts will meet at the African Medicines Agency headquarters to examine urgent medicines-safety challenges and develop practical priorities.
The Forum will inform a 90-day consultation and drafting process, strengthening the Summit platform and creating a clear foundation for its wider 2027 gathering.
The first day builds a shared view of how medicines-related harm reaches patients, how it is recognised, and where safety information and coordinated response break down.
The second day tests practical models, clarifies institutional roles and develops a focused route for consultation and follow-through.
