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.
Join us this month for a dynamic conversation with Patrick Egbunonu — President & Chief AI Officer at Informanos Analytics & AI, award-winning community builder, and seasoned AI entrepreneur — as he breaks down how African teams are deploying AI in practical, context-driven ways. Drawing on WHO and AU frameworks, Patrick will explore how responsible, locally guided AI can advance equity, governance, and sustainability in healthcare.
What you’ll learn:
- Real-world African use cases of generative and predictive AI in maternal care, diagnostics, and public health engagement
- How generative AI can enhance quality of care, strengthen health systems, and workforce capacity
- Frameworks for responsible, ethical, and equitable AI adoption in African contexts
- Opportunities for young leaders, researchers, and innovators to engage in Africa’s AI-powered health future
