🌍 About the Congress
The Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO) is set to host the 5th International Congress on Health Sciences and Technology. This pivotal event aims to bring together academics, scientists, policymakers, industrialists, and stakeholders to discuss innovative indigenous technologies for health promotion and management in Nigeria and other developing countries.
In recent times, the burden of disease outbreaks in developing countries has been high. Most of the technologies developed and deployed tend not to specifically address the health problems in these regions. However, developing countries are beginning to undertake innovative approaches to create simple and cost-effective indigenous technologies to address their fundamental health problems.
