It is a well known fact that approximately half of the African population lacks access to essential healthcare services. Despite these many challenges, Africa has seen promising innovations in healthcare, including the expansion of telemedicine and mobile health solutions to reach underserved populations. HISA is a pivotal annual event that assembles a diverse array of stakeholders dedicated to changing the face of healthcare on the African continent. This event gives an opportunity to attendees to be exposed to cutting-edge developments and insights into the ever-evolving landscape of African healthcare. Renowned experts, healthcare practitioners, policymakers, and innovative entrepreneurs come together to share their experiences, expertise, and research findings. Through thought-provoking panel discussions, interactive workshops, and breakout sessions, participants engage in in-depth conversations about healthcare innovation’s potential to transform the continent’s healthcare systems. The conference also offers a valuable platform for networking, fostering partnerships, and showcasing innovative solutions, ultimately contributing to the ongoing efforts to enhance healthcare access, quality, and equity in Africa.

A key highlight of the conference is the Innovation Showcase, where startups, healthcare technology companies, and research institutions from across Africa and beyond exhibit their groundbreaking solutions. This exhibition not only allows attendees to explore the latest advancements in telemedicine, digital health, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals but also encourages collaboration and investment opportunities. With a strong focus on sustainability and scalability, HISA plays an instrumental role in catalysing positive change in healthcare delivery and outcomes, driving forward the vision of a healthier and more equitable future for the diverse populations of Africa.
