The Academy of Public Health (APH) was founded for improving public health practice as a special purpose vehicle of the West African Institute of Public Health (WAIPH).
The Academy of Public Health is a professional body sharpened to help redress the limited human resource capacity in West Africa in the area of Public Health. It is domiciled in Nigeria and with members across the 15 states of ECOWAS. It thrives on partnerships and value-add alliances with both state and non-state actors as well as development partners.
