Africa CDC Renews its Commitment to Reduce Vaccine-Preventable Diseases and Outbreaks in Africa


The President of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), H.E. Mr Felix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, alongside key health stakeholders and partners, hosted the third National Forum on immunization and polio eradication from 27 to 28 June 2023 in Kinshasa. The Africa CDC, under the leadership of Director General H.E. Dr Jean Kaseya, joined the government of DRC Congo in reviewing progress on the commitments made during the adoption of the Kinshasa Declaration for the immunization and eradication of poliomyelitis. The meeting provided the impetus for the continued commitment to results and accountability for implementing the Kinshasa Declaration and Mashako 2.0 plan.
