Recognizing ANPA’s role in advancing healthcare standards, Alausa stated that hosting the 2025 ANPA conference demonstrates the government’s dedication to building global partnerships, embracing innovation, and creating an environment where Nigerian professionals can excel both locally and internationally.
“As we gear up to host you in Nigeria in 2025, we also understand the importance of building a resilient healthcare workforce.
