Ghana is set to host the 23rd edition of the International Conference on AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Africa (ICASA) from December 3 to 8, 2025, as part of a renewed drive to combat the HIV/AIDS pandemic on the continent.
Expected to convene over 10,000 delegates from about 150 countries, the conference would serve as a platform to assess and share knowledge, review inter-sectoral achievements in HIV response, malaria, hepatitis and other emerging diseases.
The conference that would be held on theme: 'Unity in Action: Catalysing Integrated and Resilient Health Systems for Sustainable responses to HIV and other infectious diseases and emerging threats,' will be pivotal in advancing Africa's health systems towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), of ending new HIV infections by 2030 and advancing the AU Agenda 2063.
Addressing a news conference to announce key decisions of the first International Steering Committee meeting of ICASA 2025, in Accra on Friday, the President of the Society for AIDS in Africa (SAA), Dr David Pagwesese Parirenyatwa, expressed confidence in Ghana's capability to host the conference given that it has made huge success in the fight against HIV/ AIDS.
