Investor Summit 2023 Overview

Theme: HealthTech Investor Summit: Investing in the future of African Public Health Systems through Innovation.

Both governments and the private sector have a crucial role to play in supporting low-and-middle-income countries with the equitable, inclusive and sustainable digital transformation of their health systems. This calls attention to the urgent need for increased and coordinated funding models and mechanisms for HealthTech, with different stakeholders recommending how that transformation should occur.
