Welcome to the International Conference on Primary Health Care 2025

ICPHC 2025 – Where collaboration sparks action, and sustainability takes center stage.

Building on the success of ICPHC 2023, which brought together 1,000 global participants, ICPHC 2025 will push the conversation further – focusing on exploring and devising sustainable, donor-independent Primary Health Care (PHC) systems in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs).

A collaboration between the Ethiopian Ministry of Health, the International Institute for Primary Health Care-Ethiopia, and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, ICPHC 2025 is more than a conference – it’s a platform for action. Experts, advocates, and emerging leaders will connect to exchange insights, co-create solutions, and build partnerships that drive real-world change.

Through interactive discussions, policy dialogue, and solution-driven workshops, we will tackle one of PHC’s biggest challenge: financial resilience in an evolving funding landscape. Be part of shaping the future of Primary Health Care – where innovative strategies replace reliance on donors and where global collaboration leads to local impact.
