The second annual Transforming African MedTech Conference aims to unite innovators, clinicians, investors, policymakers, and other stakeholders from across the continent in a collaborative effort to envision the future of the African medical technology industry. Our definition of MedTech encompasses medical devices and equipment, robotics, artificial intelligence, and wearables.
