The Africa Centre for Population Health and Policy (ACEPHAP) today participated in the inception meeting of the Bloomberg Project held in collaboration with the Gombe State Ministry of Health. The high level gathering marked the official launch of the initiative aimed at strengthening health systems and improving public health outcomes across the state. Stakeholders emphasized the importance of coordinated action and evidence driven interventions as the project begins implementation.

ACEPHAP has last week, joined other leading health experts in a call for urgent action to reduce maternal deaths across Africa by scaling up proven evidence-based interventions, which remain under-implemented.
