NO INSTITUTION CAN TRANSFORM HEALTHCARE ALONE.

VOICES FROM THE PLATFORM

WHAT DELEGATS AND SPEAKERS SAY ABOUT AHTS.

“This convening turns policy intention into deployed health infrastructure – That’s rare, and Africa needs more of it.”

Dr. Jean Kaseya

Director General, Africa CDC

“AHTS is where Africa’s digital health agenda gets tested against the people who actually have to implement it – and that makes all the different.”

Hon. Dr. Sabin Nsanzimana

Minister of Health, Rwanda

“The cross-sector connections made here – between government, investors and innovators – are exactly what drives continental digital transformation.”
