Abstract
Longitudinal population studies (LPSs) in Africa have the potential to become powerful engines of change by adopting a learning health system
(LHS) framework. This is a call-to-action opinion and highlights the importance of integrating an LHS approach into LPSs, emphasizing their
transformative potential to improve population health response, drive evidence-based decision-making, and enhance community well-being.
Operators of LPS platforms, community members, government officials, and funding agencies have a role to contribute to this transformative
journey of driving evidence-based interventions, promoting health equity, and fostering long-term public health solutions for African communities.
