The Public Health Alliance for Genomic Epidemiology (PHA4GE, https://pha4ge.org) announces that the International Pathogen Surveillance Network (IPSN) – a global network of pathogen genomic actors, brought together by the World Health Organisation (WHO) Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence, is partnering with PHA4GE and WHO Regional Office for Africa for the upcoming PHA4GE Conference and IPSN Global Partners Forum (GPF) 2025.
The joint event will take place from 27 – 29 October 2025 at the Century City Conference Centre in Cape Town, South Africa, under the theme “Data for Action: Overcoming Challenges and Seizing Opportunities in Public Health Genomics.”
This collaboration highlights our shared vision of strengthening global capacity in genomic epidemiology, data sharing, and public health action. By joining forces, PHA4GE and IPSN are creating a platform for innovation, dialogue, and collaboration that will drive real-world impact globally.
Together, we are building momentum for a future where genomic data translates into insights for emergency prevention, preparedness response and resilience for better health outcomes.
