La mise en œuvre par l’OMS des politiques internationales de développement sanitaire en Afrique centrale entre 1956 et 2000, est la thématique centrale de cette conférence. Celle-ci abordera des questions liées à l’histoire de cette organisation internationale en Afrique et notamment, l’histoire de la création du bureau africain de l’OMS à Brazzaville, de sa trajectoire institutionnelle, etc. Les échanges tourneront enfin, autour du rôle joué par l’OMS dans la situation sanitaire des pays de l’Afrique centrale. C’est le lieu de repenser les politiques internationales de développement sanitaire en Afrique dans leur contexte historique et politique.
