An African Health Summit was held in Accra, the capital of Ghana, on Tuesday and Wednesday, 21–22 July 2026. The summit focused on strengthening health sovereignty, achieving universal health coverage, accelerating continental efforts to eliminate HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis by 2030, reducing maternal mortality, and expanding local pharmaceutical manufacturing across Africa.

Whoever examines the issues discussed at the summit will find that they are the natural consequences of the capitalist system—whether through its implementation in Africa and elsewhere or through the colonial domination of African countries by the major capitalist powers. Africa has suffered more than any other region from this colonialism, particularly because of the intense colonial rivalry among the major capitalist states following the end of the Second World War, especially since the 1960s.

It is well known that Africa is one of the richest continents in the world, particularly in terms of water resources, agriculture, forests, precious and strategic minerals, as well as oil and natural gas. Instead of these resources belonging to their people, they became the object of exploitation by colonial powers. As a result, Africa's peoples became among the poorest in the world. The continent has also suffered from widespread illiteracy, especially in countries that were not governed by Islam. Consequently, millions of African lives have been sacrificed as fuel for the conflict among the colonial capitalist powers.

The greatest calamity facing the world is the colonial capitalist system, which has stripped Africa and other regions of their wealth, spread the glorification of personal freedoms, and installed loyal agents who are committed to serving its interests and implementing its plans.

Its plundering of Africa's wealth has produced extreme poverty. Its glorification of personal freedoms has, according to the statement, led to devastating diseases such as HIV/AIDS. Its installation of loyal rulers has resulted in poor healthcare, poor governance, and severe poverty.

According to the statement, Africa has no way out of this bitter reality except by adopting a correct ideology, and the only correct ideology is Islam. Through it, the level of awareness among its people would rise, colonialism would be eliminated, genuine progress would be achieved, client agent rulers would be removed, all of Africa's problems would be solved, and its looted wealth would be restored.

The Central Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir presents the Islamic ideology to the people of Africa, particularly to its intellectuals, opinion leaders, and influential figures. It presents Islam with its rational creed, which convinces the human intellect and accords with human nature, along with the system that emanates from that creed. It calls upon them to adopt this ideology, to work toward establishing public opinion in its favour throughout the countries of Africa, and to achieve a comprehensive and genuine revival. It also invites them to contact the party through its website, email address, and telephone numbers listed below the statement so that they may receive books and publications explaining this ideology and its solutions to humanity's problems.

[فَإِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُم مِّنِّي هُدًى فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ هُدَايَ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشْقَى * وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكاً]

“But if there come to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray nor suffer. But whoever turns away from My Reminder, for him is a life of hardship” [Surah Ta-Ha 123–124]
