InnovateHealth Africa

Our Executive Director Oluwatobi ADEWUMI is representing IHA among other Africa’s leading voices in digital health & innovation at the ongoing Africa HealthTech Summit - AHTS. Day 1 was rich with insights on how AI and emerging technologies are driving African healthcare forward. Key discussions aligned with IHA’s core objectives of local capacity-building for the African Careforce, fostering partnerships, and supporting young innovators—those closest to their communities and most empowered to create impactful change. We’re excited for more impactful exchanges tomorrow! #InnovateHealthAfrica #AfricaHealthTechSummit2024 #DigitalHealth #AIinHealthcare

It was a pleasure catching up with friends, partners, and stakeholders across all facets of digital health & innovation at the DAY 1 of the Africa HealthTech Summit - AHTS The discussions focused on how AI and emerging technologies are reshaping healthcare in Africa. Key insights included the critical role of AI in optimizing limited resources for better service to underserved communities, and the need for context-specific solutions for African healthcare. Collaboration and partnerships were highlighted as essential, with a call for a unified #digitalhealth strategy (already captured in the Africa CDC Digital transformation Strategy) to overcome governance fragmentation and improve access to valuable data. Capacity development and creating enabling environments for innovators were also emphasised as vital for long-term transformation. The themes discussed align closely with our strategic objectives at InnovateHealth Africa (IHA). We’re deeply invested in initiatives that emphasize local capacity-building for the Africa Careforce, foster partnerships, and support young innovators—those closest to their communities and most empowered to create impactful change. Excited and looking forward to Day 2 of this conversation. #digitalhealth #africa #healthinnovation
