Call for Abstracts

The College of Health Sciences, KNUST, in partnership with the German West Africa Centre for Global Health and Pandemic Prevention (G-WAC), invites you to submit abstracts for the upcoming biennial conference themed “Bridging the Gap: Multidisciplinary Approaches to Strengthening Ghana’s Health System”.



Our Misson

The Centre aims to address the existential threat of pandemics to the health and welfare of people through trans- and inter-disciplinary research projects targeting both the main drivers of pandemics (e.g. health impact of wild habitat encroachment, extensive agriculture and climate change, transfer of pathogens from wild animals to humans) and the key pillars of resilient health systems in the WHO framework (e.g. effective governance, sustainable financing mechanisms, appropriate human resource capacity, availability of essential medicines and technology, reliable health information, and responsive health service delivery) using One Health approaches.
