As the first edition of the KAAIA in 2021/22 focussed on #SDG3 “Good Health and Well-Being”, we are excited about the 3rd edition of the Africa HealthTech Summit - AHTS 🌍 📱 This Summit is promoting digitalization towards quality care and resilient health systems highlighting the growth and potential of digital health in #Africa. The AHTS starts today (October 29th -31st) and takes place in Kigali, Rwanda. Ministers of Health and ICT, National Public Health Institutes, Regulators, leading Tech Innovators, Healthcare Professionals, Development Partners, Investors and Academia, are going to explore together how emerging technologies can be harnessed to build resilience, improve health systems and individual wellbeing across African communities. 🤝🚑
📣 This year’s theme is ‘Innovating for Community Health Unleashing the Power of AI' and therefore, the Summit will focus on critical questions such as realizing the potential of innovations like artificial intelligence, internet of things, robotics, drones, block chain and more to tackle Africa’s most pressing health challenges. 💡 Sessions will focus on strategies and solutions to strengthen health infrastructure, enhance disease prevention and surveillance, improve supply chain efficiency, expand access to diagnostics and care, build health worker capacity, and drive progress towards universal health coverage across the continent (Source: AHTS website) 🏥 🌍
