Africa's healthcare market will be worth $259B by 2030 and will present 14% of health and wellbeing business opportunities, only second to North America holding 21% of the opportunities. Technology and Innovation can accelerate outcomes for patients, providers, and startups. Our Health technology market is forecasted to reach a value of over $11B by 2025, serving a population of 1.4B people. Considering our healthcare industry is expected to be worth $259B by 2030, health technology plays a crucial role in the continent’s economic development. But, there is a problem. 1. Low adoption of digital innovations in health 2. Low knowledge penetration of digital health solutions among physicians, care teams, and patients. This is a danger to patient outcomes and clinician experience. This must be corrected with all seriousness. Join us to have the conversation about the future of our healthcare system, and how we can innovate our way out of poor health outcomes. #grepelon #grepelonhealth #virtualevent #linkedinevent #digitalhealth #healthtechnology #startups #healthsystems #ghanahealthsystem #africahealthsystems

I remain excited yet cautious about the potential for homegrown health technology ventures to transform access and affordability. A report from Disrupt Africa on the budding eHealth startup ecosystem reinforced this mix of optimism and patience for me. On the one hand, the severity of the challenges facing the average African when obtaining quality, affordable care is staggering. Whether facing: 👉 Drug availability issues 👉 Lack of insurance coverage leading to out-of-pocket expenses 👉 Or simply geographic access barriers for rural populations There remain too many barriers relative to the rest of the world. The good news is we are seeing incredible African entrepreneurs build technologies specifically designed to tackle these gaps - from telemedicine apps bringing diagnostics to remote villages to digital tools optimising pharmacy supply chains to insurance infrastructure making coverage more accessible. The innovation opportunity abounds. However, these ventures need robust backing to fulfill their promise. More private investment is essential, especially from VCs willing to stay longer. Public sector partnerships providing pilot opportunities will also be key to getting solutions to market fit. Constructive policymaking & regulation have to balance safety with enabling growth. So, I have tempered my excitement for African health tech because while the direction is promising, increased support is still sorely lacking. My investing activities focus on helping close these gaps! But with the amazing talent working on these challenges, I'm hopeful we will advance equitable access significantly in the coming years. There is too much potential - we simply can't afford to leave ideas and lives on the table. Onward! #Healthcare #Leadership #PPI #Nigeria

🌟 Leveraging Technology for Accessible Healthcare in South Africa 🌟 As National Health Insurance (NHI) continues to be a hot topic in South Africa, the potential for technology to revolutionize healthcare accessibility is more pertinent than ever. Recently, I experienced firsthand the power of technology in healthcare. Having just had a baby and suffering from an ear infection, I dreaded the thought of sitting in a germ-infested waiting room. Desperate to avoid this, I hoped the infection would resolve on its own. When it didn't, I remembered that my medical aid offers virtual consultations. At 15:30, I logged into the app and requested a consult. By 15:45, I had a script for antibiotics, and by 16:00, I was back home. What an awesome experience! This got me thinking: how can our government use technology to improve healthcare accessibility for all? 1. **Virtual Consultations**: By implementing and promoting telehealth services, we can reduce the strain on physical facilities and make healthcare more accessible, especially for those in remote areas. 2. **Health Apps and Wearables**: Encouraging the use of health monitoring apps and wearable devices can help individuals manage their health proactively, reducing the need for frequent doctor visits. 3. **Electronic Health Records (EHRs)**: Streamlining EHRs can ensure that patient information is readily available across different healthcare providers, improving the efficiency and quality of care. 4. **AI and Machine Learning**: Leveraging AI for diagnostics and treatment recommendations can enhance the precision and speed of medical care, making it more accessible to those with limited access to specialist services. 5. **Mobile Health Clinics**: Using mobile units equipped with advanced technology to deliver healthcare services to underserved areas can bridge the gap in healthcare accessibility. 6. **Public Health Education**: Utilizing digital platforms to disseminate health information can empower individuals with the knowledge to take better care of their health. By embracing these technological advancements, we can make significant strides toward a more equitable healthcare system in South Africa. Let’s harness the power of technology to ensure everyone has access to the care they need. 🌍💉 #HealthcareInnovation #Telehealth #NHI #SouthAfrica #AccessibleHealthcare #HealthTech #DigitalHealth #PatientExperience #PublicHealth #MedicalAid https://lnkd.in/dgMadQGy
