Digital Afrique Telecom joins hand with Ever Medical Technologies to modernize the African healthcare industry through technology

Reinforcing Health Tech in Africa: a pathway to scaling public health intervention

Across Africa, countries constantly face remarkable disruptions in their health tech supply chains and last-mile health-service delivery, inadequacy in medicine data storage and analysis, and poor financing. However, though accelerated by the pandemic, there have been recent innovations in technology and significant possibilities to improve access to healthcare in Africa.

Globally, since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the healthcare industry has experienced notable digital transformation. Advancements in technology worldwide are helping to solve some of the world’s most pressing healthcare challenges; digitization has a pivotal role in improving essential remote care services, achieving a rapid roll-out of vaccines globally, and real-time data tracking of pandemic trends. The management of communicable and non-communicable diseases has been impacted by the advancement in technology.

Africa was lagging; some barriers prevent equitable access to quality care and vital medicines, especially in remote areas. Inadequate policies and gaps in policy effectiveness, unavailability of health personnel with the required expertise, inadequate access to health equipment, poor community and user integration with the technology, and poor funding were part of the hurdles identified. Some of them persist even now. These seemingly underdeveloped healthcare systems have made obvious the need for radical innovative solutions.

In recent years, Africa is however growing fast, industrializing, and urbanizing; there has been pronounced advancement in Africa’s health tech with tremendous opportunities for growth. Promising projects are being successfully established in countries; an example is the pioneer telehealth company in Ghana, mPharma, which set to establish 100 virtual centres across Africa. The following years are expected to witness many more health tech companies’ evolution in Africa.
