A very good statement about the tremendous expectations of the African population in terms of healthcare services and the challenges for the governments to give an adequate response. Our vision goes beyond the sole realization of infrastructures in a EPC approach, to offer as well a wide range of services to support the countries in the implementation of sustainable services to the population. This includes the development of nationwide E-Health solutions, capacity building and training. Also we understand the need to structure alternative financing models (PPP) to offer the right scheme to African countries struggling with their debt constraints.

As a champion for digital transformation in healthcare, I believe we can harness digital health technologies to enhance access, improve outcomes, and revolutionize Africa's healthcare. While progress has been made, I recognize the persistent challenges in rural connectivity, digital literacy, and equitable access. At the African Digital Health Summit 2024, I look forward to collaborating with thought leaders, sharing insights, and co-creating solutions to maximize digital platforms, address healthcare disparities, and transform our healthcare system. #digitalgovernance #youthvoices #Digitalfirsthealthsystems #dthlab #DTHLabatADHS cc: Africa Digital Health Summit (ADHS) Digital Transformations for Health Lab EME Foundation

As healthcare professionals, we need to embark on a transformative journey to revolutionise the South African health system! 🌍💡 It is evident that there is a compelling need to re-architect the South African health system to better serve the masses. The success of such a system depends on its design, implementation and sustained management of the system. The integration of digital technologies facilitates a shift from a 'human resources '-centered approach to an operationally driven solution. South Africa faces a well-documented challenge of an unequal distribution of human resources in the healthcare sector. Addressing this issue and meeting the growing demand for robust healthcare services necessitates a strategic focus on systems strengthening, with the integration of digital technologies serving as a crucial starting point. #universalhealthcoverage #systemthinking #systemstrenghtening #digitaltechnologies #healthcare

Transforming Nigerian Health System: Key Takeaways from Our Conference - Bright Chimezie Irem In a recent consulting meeting and a training, we reviewed some of the key/and pressing issue facing Nigeria's health system which are responsible for the public healthcare challengesexperienced in the country. Everybody in the audience agreed with me on one thing, "Health system re-engineering stands as a systemic solution." We explored multifaceted approaches, recognizing that merely patching up existing structures won't solve the problem. A robust plan demands integrating technology with traditional healthcare models, ensuring accessibility for all Nigerians. Emphasis was placed on digital health records, telemedicine, and mobile health services as key drivers. Yet, technology alone isn't the answer. Strengthening human resources in healthcare, from training to retention, emerged as equally essential. We discussed building partnerships between government, private sector, and NGOs. These alliances are vital in scaling up resources and expertise. Professionals, Policymakers and stakeholders, here's our call to action. Invest in technology, but don't overlook the human element. Forge collaborative efforts, and let's build a health system resilient enough to withstand future crises. The path is clear, the blueprint outlined. Let's step forward, together. This offers a peep into our discussions, inviting further engagement and action. For a healthier Nigeria, the time to act is now. #HealthSystemInnovation #DigitalHealthcareNigeria #HealthcareReformNG #SustainableHealth #MedicalTechAdvances #PublicPrivateHealthPartnership #NigeriaHealthInitiative #GlobalHealthSolutions #CommunityHealthDevelopment #HealthcareCapacityBuilding
