At #AFHEG, we believe young people are not just the future. They are the present drivers of change. When equipped with accurate health information, creative tools, and safe spaces for dialogue, youth can transform their communities and inspire healthier futures.

Your health decisions deserve facts, not guesswork.
People act on health information they understand & trust. Strengthening health literacy means helping communities access reliable, clear, and trusted information to make informed decisions.

Our CEO @phillipmwebaza is representing #AFHEG at the @AI_EverythingKE in Nairobi. He took the main stage today to make the case that health literacy is the system that determines whether communities can actually use and benefit from AI in healthcare.

He put it simply. Health literacy is the base of the cake. AI is the cherry on top. You cannot place a cherry on air. Get that order wrong and the whole system collapses at the last mile.

Africa cannot keep receiving AI health systems designed elsewhere. We need to build our own. Trained on our data. Speaking our languages. Reflecting our realities. That is the work. #HealthLiteracy #AIinHealth #GITEX2026 #AIEverythingKenya

Health technology adoption fails in communities, not because the technology is wrong.
It fails because the foundation was never built.
Health literacy is that foundation. It is the work #AFHEG does daily to equip communities to trust and use the technology built to serve them.

The world has more health information than ever. But more information hasn't made communities healthier.
The issue was not access alone but how that information is designed, understood, & used.
At #AFHEG, that is the gap we focus on to build healthier & knowledgable communities

Happy Labour Day.
To the health worker who showed up today with no recognition, no budget, and no backup.
Uganda's health system runs on your commitment.

When organizations, young people, and community members collaborate, we gain clear direction and make meaningful progress in reducing the burden of disease.
By empowering communities with accurate health information, we build a stronger, health-literate society together.

Health literacy is not just about what young people know.
It is about what they feel confident enough to do with that knowledge.
That is why we use art.
At #AFHEG, we are building a health-literate generation through creativity, play, and community action.

Health literacy is not a classroom subject. It is the difference between a community that thrives and one that suffers in silence.
At the #AFHEG Foundation, we are building the generation that does not wait to be saved. It leads.

The next generation doesn't just deserve healthcare. They deserve the knowledge to understand it, demand it, and protect themselves.
That is why #AFHEG is building a health-literate generation, one young leader at a time.

@AFHEGFoundation is taking on the antimicrobial resistance crisis by bringing health information back to the basics.
Through simple, clear messages shared at the community level, they’re helping people understand how everyday choices about how medicines are used, stored, and shared can either fuel or fight resistance.
One conversation at a time, AFHEG is turning knowledge into a frontline defense for healthier communities
