Africa Health Exhibition’s Post

This one is one of those worth reading 👀 The best hackathon stories are those from non-tech-related people, and this one from Akanimoh O. is really inspiring, especially because he likes to use blockchain technology on their projects 🤌 Akanimoh gives the golden rule for hackathons 👇 -- A winning project in a hackathon solves a real-world problem in an innovative yet practical way. [...] You don’t have to build everything—focus on making something that works and clearly addresses the problem you’re solving.

🤩 On May 23, Steven Vandeput, PhD. will represent our federation at Radical Health Festival Helsinki, a 3-day event bringing together people, data, and innovations to help scale prevention and precision in European healthcare. Steven will participate in a panel on the #reimbursement and adoption of #digitalhealth technologies, alongside experts from five other countries: Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and, of course Finland. 🖤💛❤ During the panel, special attention will be given to three countries: France with its #PECAN model, Germany with #DiGA, and ... Belgium with our reimbursement framework for #mhealth solutions. Something to be proud of, being a small country in Europe. And at the same time, an encouragement to do even better? 💪 In any case, we are convinced Belgium can become a frontrunner in the use of innovative digital medical technologies to support healthcare providers and patients. That is if we dare to think radically outside the box from time to time. Also on our agenda in Finland? 👉 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 with experts from Germany, France, and other European countries. 👉 𝗚𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 that we can bring back to Belgium to share with policymakers, our members, and other healthcare stakeholders. 👉 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 with #mHealthBelgium with stakeholders from other countries. 𝗣.𝗦. Outside the festival, we will also meet with Finnish authorities to discuss the #digitalhealth story we are writing in Belgium (among other topics). Looking forward already! 👁 #RadicalHealth #DigitalInHealth #medtechmatters #healthcareinnovation #digitalhealth RIZIV FOD Volksgezondheid, Veiligheid van de Voedselketen en Leefmilieu Agoria

Our Country Lead, Moh’ M. Alhaji, PhD, will join colleagues at the Africa Digital Health Summit in Lagos this Thursday and Friday (June 27-28). They will discuss findings from our exploratory study on optimizing the hybrid e-pharmacy platform for family planning in Lagos. A snippet from our survey revealed that while awareness of family planning among the underserved population was high (87%), awareness of accessibility via digital health platforms is low (16%). Barriers include lack of awareness, trust issues, privacy concerns, and cost perceptions. Our ongoing lab-in-the-field study aims to address these barriers and improve access for underserved populations through low-tech equity model prototypes.

#ROUSForum I was honored to participate in the dedicated healthcare panel at the 3rd 𝐔.𝐒.-𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐦, an excellent platform for highlighting Romania’s potential for healthcare investments. Romania has one of the fastest-growing economies in the region, which has significantly boosted the healthcare sector through substantial public and private #investments. Echoing my co-panelist Dr. Diana Paun, the people are the first prerequisite for a vibrant investment environment and Romania is fortunate to benefit from an extraordinary human capital. My colleagues from Roche Romania are a reflection of this #development potential in healthcare: highly educated and diverse young professionals, fully integrated in the European business environment and ready to seize on development opportunities. One promising #investment opportunity is in the #clinicalstudies sector and Romania's strong academic sector fuels its potential as a regional hub for medical research. Recent legislative reforms and successful public private #partnerships are leading experts to predict #Romania can become one of the high performing countries in the region, with a potential to triple the number of clinical studies by 2026. I want to thank my co-panelists for joining me in showcasing that we are building trustful partnerships in Romania which are transforming the ecosystem from "having costs for sick-care" into "doing investments for health-care". #Roche
