Africa is rich with talent, ingenuity, and powerful home-grown health innovations, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is accelerating what’s possible. From diagnostics to intelligent tools supporting frontline workers, innovators across the continent are unlocking new ways to improve quality of care, strengthen health systems, and broaden access with solutions designed for Africa, by Africa.
