 28 August - 1 September Seventy-third session of the WHO Regional Committee for Africa The Seventy-third session of the WHO Regional Committee for Africa is expected to be held in a hybrid format from 28 August to 1 September 2023 in Gaborone, Republic of Botswana.  29 - 31 August WHO Global Evidence-to-Policy Summit It takes on average 17 years for applied health research to translate into policies, products, or technologies. This lack of speed costs the global economy millions of dollars and has an untold impact on lives. The second Global Evidence-to-Policy Summit Summit will allow stakeholders to exchange best practices, examples, and innovation -- to try to close the gap between research and implementation. Sessions will feature interactive discussions about enhancing public trust in science, the role of cross-evidence ecosystem collaboration, institutionalizing evidence use and the potential use of AI and Foresight to facilitate evidence to policy translation. The Summit is a free and fully virtual event. Register here.  30 August EPI-WIN webinar: Zika virus: learning from the past, preparing for the future This webinar will give an overview of the current global Zika situation and the speakers will discuss the latest evidence available and lessons learned related to the declaration of a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) from February to November 2016. Cases of Zika virus disease globally declined from 2017 onwards; however, Zika virus transmission has been detected in 89 countries and persists at low levels with intermittent incidence increases in several countries in the Americas and in other endemic regions.
