Turning Healthcare Challenges into Scalable Solutions

Across Africa and other resource-constrained settings, healthcare systems are under growing pressure from rising demand, limited infrastructure and persistent gaps in access. At the same time, advances in MedTech, diagnostics, digital health, data and therapeutics are opening new pathways to strengthen care delivery. For technology companies, pharmaceutical leaders and investors, this creates an opportunity to work alongside researchers and health systems to develop, validate and scale solutions that are clinically relevant, locally adapted, and economically sustainable.

Digital Healthcare Africa is a forum for the people developing, validating, financing and implementing those solutions.

Our Challenge

Digital Healthcare Africa is a forum for the people developing, validating, financing and implementing those solutions.

Where Research, Technology, and Capital meet to build better health systems

Transforming healthcare systems requires more than innovation alone. It requires strong evidence, viable business models, effective implementation and long-term investment.

Digital Healthcare Africa connects four communities that are essential to making that happen.

Pharmaceutical

Connect with the people shaping healthcare delivery in resource-constrained settings. Meet clinicians, researchers, health-system leaders, regulators and technology partners advancing access, treatment pathways, evidence and patient outcomes.

MedTech

Connect your technology to real healthcare needs. Meet clinicians, health system leaders, and researchers working across diagnostics and care delivery. Build the partnerships and gain market insight needed to adopt, implement, and scale your technology.

Policymaker

Digital Healthcare Africa brings policymakers together with researchers, healthcare leaders, industry and investors to share what works, explore effective regulation, financing and partnerships, and help proven solutions move from ambition to adoption and scale.

Investor

Connect with high-potential founders and healthcare leaders shaping fast-evolving markets. Identify scalable opportunities, gain insight into local market dynamics, and build the relationships needed to drive adoption, growth and long-term value.

Why you should join as a…

Researcher

Connect your research to the people, settings and partnerships that can move it forward. Meet clinicians, health-system leaders, technology developers and industry partners working on challenges where new evidence is urgently needed.

Digital Healthcare Africa offers researchers opportunities to identify new research questions, build international collaborations, access real-world implementation settings and explore pathways for clinical validation, translational research and impact at scale.

It is a place to test ideas beyond the academic setting and to connect strong research with the partners needed to turn evidence into better care.

MedTech Company

Connect your technology to the healthcare environments where it can create the greatest value. Meet clinicians, researchers, health-system leaders and investors working on concrete challenges in diagnostics, care delivery, monitoring and access.

Digital Healthcare Africa gives MedTech companies the opportunity to better understand unmet needs, identify partners for clinical validation and implementation, and explore how products can be adapted to different resource settings and health-system realities.

It is a place to move beyond product development — and build the evidence, partnerships and market understanding needed to bring effective technologies into routine care and scale them sustainably.

Pharmaceutical Leader

Connect your portfolio and expertise to the realities of healthcare delivery in resource-constrained settings. Meet clinicians, researchers, health-system leaders, regulators and technology partners working on access, treatment pathways, evidence generation and patient outcomes.

Digital Healthcare Africa gives pharmaceutical leaders the opportunity to explore new models for clinical research, real-world evidence, digital therapeutics, medicines access and integrated care, while building partnerships across health systems, academia and industry.

It is a place to look beyond product development, and examine how medicines, data and innovation can work together to improve access, strengthen care pathways and create sustainable health impact at scale.

Policymaker

Connect policy priorities with the evidence, technologies and implementation experience needed to strengthen health systems. Meet researchers, healthcare leaders, industry partners and investors working on practical solutions for access, resilience and sustainable care delivery.

Digital Healthcare Africa gives policymakers the opportunity to exchange lessons across countries, understand what is working in different health-system contexts, and explore how regulation, financing and public-private collaboration can support effective innovation.

It is a place to move from policy ambition to implementation and to shape the conditions in which proven solutions can be adopted, scaled and sustained.

Investor

Connect with the researchers, founders, health-system leaders and industry partners shaping the next generation of healthcare in resource-constrained settings. Gain direct insight into unmet needs, emerging technologies and the realities that determine whether a solution can move from promise to scale.

Digital Healthcare Africa gives investors the opportunity to identify promising ventures, understand local market dynamics, assess pathways to adoption and build relationships with the clinical, academic and public-sector partners that are critical to successful growth.

It is a place to look beyond the pitch and understand which solutions can create measurable health impact, build sustainable business models and scale across diverse healthcare systems.

Insurance Company

Connect with the technologies, evidence and healthcare partners that are reshaping how care is financed and delivered. Meet health-system leaders, researchers, MedTech companies and pharmaceutical partners working on prevention, diagnostics, treatment pathways and access.

Digital Healthcare Africa gives insurers the opportunity to explore how digital health, data and new models of care can improve risk assessment, enable earlier intervention, reduce avoidable costs and expand access to appropriate treatment.

It is a place to move beyond reimbursement — and examine how insurers can become active partners in building more preventive, efficient and resilient health systems.

This year’s conference focuses on turning crisis into opportunity. Therefore, we bring experts from different industries together to strengthening collaboration across regions, and learning from one another to expand access to quality care.

Feel free to check out this video from our most recent conference in 2025, which was centered around practical insights in the potential applications of digital technologies, using maternal and child health, as important examples. Topics included patient registries, safety signals, vaccine use in pregnancy/breastfeeding, labelling of vaccines in pregnancy, emerging infections and antibiotic resistance, telemedicine, pharmacometric modelling, precision medicine, medicines regulation, ethical and legal aspects, and capability enhancement.
