The Africa-UK Health Summit Description
The Africa-UK Health Summit provides healthtech CEOs / entrepreneurs, government ministers, impact investors, consumer brands, NGOs, foundations and philanthropists with two exceptional days of connections, innovations and ideas - all focused on Africa, the UK and health.
There is much to be positive about. The response to the Covid-19 pandemic changed the way African healthcare is delivered. The use of digital tech, data & AI has accelerated exponentially, as have telemedicine, remote monitoring, and digital therapeutics, enabling access to better health care to the last mile. Scientists & health experts are conducting new research at the intersection of biology, chemistry & data science to unlock new ways to prevent & diagnose diseases plus provide targeted treatments based on need. Private sector investments in core health service capabilities have accelerated.
Yet against this backdrop of rapid changes in health care delivery & resulting opportunities, many countries are still struggling. Poor health infrastructure, limited workforce capacity, creaky supply chains & inadequate research capacity in many African countries have been weakened by COVID-19. And, as we all know from the world’s experience of the pandemic, a weak health system in one place is an imminent risk to the whole world.
The Health Summit addresses all of these issues and more. We've created this companion app for all delegates to make the experience as richly rewarding as possible. Within the app you'll find:
- comprehensive agenda details
- venue details
- attendee networking including video calls & digital business card
- rich profiles to boost your business/personal brand
- meeting booking through the app
- speaker profiles & materials
- sponsor booths where you can request meetings directly with sponsors
- up-to-the-minute notifications of additions to the programme / special announcements
- ongoing networking for 6 months after the summit
- catch-up video 'on demand' after the summit
