A New Digital Health Platform for Africa

As the use of digital tools for effective healthcare delivery gradually takes hold in Africa, the Africa CDC has unveiled a new platform that caters to member states’ differing technology needs, including access, cost, and infrastructure.

The Africa HealthTech Marketplace‘ which showcases targeted, accessible digital health solutions, was launched on 29 October in Kigali, Rwanda, on the sidelines of the Africa Health-Tech Summit 2024, as a collaborative effort between African CDC and the Digital Impact Alliance (DIAL), a global alliance working to advance digital inclusion and digital transformation. DIAL’s expertise and resources were instrumental in the development and launch of this platform.
