Prof. Mohamed Janabi(@ProfJanabi):African institutions and communities should help shape the recommendations of the WHS–Lancet Commission on Academic Responsibility. African experience must shape the knowledge and decisions that affect our health. Today at #WHS2026, I joined a panel discussion at the launch of the Commission, which will consider how academia can contribute to the public good and build trust in science. Research capacity is part of health sovereignty. Universities should use their independence and expertise in the service of society, generating evidence that helps countries make informed health decisions and hold policies to scrutiny.
