The Institute of Human Virology Nigeria (IHVN) has participated in the World’s Largest Lung Health Conference, the 2025 Union World Conference on Lung Health, in Copenhagen, Denmark from November 18th to 21st.
The conference brings together government and non-government agencies, charities, donors and funders, professional groups, patient groups, civil society organisations, clinicians, managers, policy makers, front-line workers and implementers, scientists, patients and survivors, advocates and the civil society to address tuberculosis and lung diseases.
At the conference, IHVN presented 19 e-posters and 12 oral abstracts at the event highlighting research findings in areas such as community approaches for tuberculosis prevention and screening, private sector involvement in tuberculosis case finding and use of digital technologies.
IHVN also collaborated with Red AID Nigeria, Association of Reproductive and Family Health (ARFH), Caritas Nigeria, KNCV Nigeria and Damien Foundation to present 12 e-posters and ten oral presentations at the event
IHVN Director of Special Projects, Dr Aderonke Agbaje said the conference has been engaging with significant insights gained in tuberculosis science and implementation.
“It has provided a rich environment for IHVN to share experiences with experts on implementation and research efforts, while networking with experts, researchers and product developers. This experience has reinvigorated the team to do more in addressing inequities in TB response,” she said.
By participating both in number and depth of research, IHVN continues to collaborate in shaping global conversations around TB and HIV, even as it applies these insights within the country.
