West African researchers work to turn Lassa fever research into policy evidence
The West African Health Organisation (WAHO), in collaboration with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), its partners and regional experts, held a workshop in Abuja, Nigeria, to finalise scientific papers from the 2025 ECOWAS International Lassa Fever Conference.
Researchers from across West Africa are working to turn scientific findings presented at a regional Lassa fever conference into research papers that could strengthen efforts to prevent and control the disease.
The Abuja workshop therefore represents the next stage in a process that began with the 2025 ECOWAS International Lassa Fever Conference, taking research presented at the meeting, refining it through expert review and working towards its publication.
