HealthTech in Africa: a strategic opportunity
HealthTech in Africa: Innovation or a new dependence?
Digitalisation is transforming the global health industry. The HealthTech sector encompasses telemedicine, hospital software, artificial intelligence applied to diagnostics and biotechnology. Globally, this segment is experiencing sustained growth and attracting massive investment.
A double-edged opportunity
For Africa, HealthTech can:
- Improve access to care
- Optimise hospital management
- Reduce costs
But it can also reinforce technological dependence if solutions continue to be imported.
Digital sovereignty and health data
Medical data is becoming a strategic asset. Who hosts the data? Who develops the algorithms? Who controls the platforms? Health sovereignty now also involves digital sovereignty.
