In the last few years, our esteemed organization, APIN Public Health Initiatives, has taken several steps to strategically position itself and influence reforms, and shape discourse in the Nigerian and global Public Health landscape. Our Annual Symposium is one of such strategies and represents APIN’s proactive vision to influence policies, improve health service delivery and set the stage for the sustained progress of Nigeria’s health system. The maiden edition held on December 6th, 2023 and focused on the integration of Non-Communicable Diseases into Nigeria’s HIV Program to ensure healthy lives for People Living with HIV.
