The event brought together representatives from 26 African nations, including Members of Parliament from health and budgetary committees, civil society organisations, and key stakeholders in the healthcare sector.
As the head of The Gambia’s delegation, Hon. Bah presented the NEAPACOH 2025 report, reinforcing the country’s commitment to strengthening its healthcare system through parliamentary action and collaboration with key stakeholders.

In a significant step forward, Hon. Bah stated that, his team is now working towards establishing The Gambia’s first-ever TB caucus in parliament, aiming to mobilise legislative support in the fight against tuberculosis. He noted that his leadership at NEAPACOH is expected to open new opportunities for policy improvements and international collaborations that will enhance healthcare delivery in The Gambia and across the West African region.
