PxP Africa 2025: Virtual Meeting August 13, 2025 From Research Participants to Patient Partners in Research: Centering African Patients Voices

PxP Africa is the first regional PxP meeting, led by Joab Wako and Kwanele Asante who are members of the 2025 steering committee for the global PxP conference taking place in September. PxP Africa will spotlight the critical role of patient partners—especially African patients—as active contributors in research, not just research participants. The session will challenge the traditional top-down model of research and explore how lived experience can inform, shape, and lead meaningful, inclusive studies.
