Adolescent Health in Sub-Saharan Africa
Adolescents in Sub-Saharan Africa make up a significant portion of the global adolescent population, with over 226 million young people aged 10-19 years old. As this population continues to grow, we must invest in their education, health, and well-being to ensure a brighter future for all. By coming together at this conference, we learned from each other, shared best practices, and worked towards a common goal of improving adolescent health care across the continent.
