About this opportunity
The Next Gen route is Nigeria Health Watch's youth doorway into the 11th Future of Health Conference, and it is built around the simple idea that the support a young health professional needs depends on where they are starting from. The sponsorship page prints that every sponsored participant receives conference access, a place at FHC 2026 in Abuja on 29 October, a virtual orientation on 27 October and a mentor group that continues monthly for the next 3 months.
On top of that shared experience, the support itself is tiered so it meets the applicant where they are. Level 1 covers registration for participants who live in Abuja and can cover their own transport, Level 2 adds local transport and conference-day meals, Level 3 adds return road travel, transfers, travel-day meals and accommodation for participants travelling to Abuja by road, and Level 4 adds a return flight for participants travelling from far states where flying is the practical option.
The page prints that the support level is confirmed in the award letter. The call is open to students and serving NYSC corps members studying or working in public health, medicine, pharmacy, nursing or biomedical engineering at a Nigerian institution.
There is no cash award, the value here is the place, the orientation, the mentor group and the travel support matched to need. Applying is free and applications close at 11:59 pm on 20 October 2026.
