Making Quality Healthcare Accessible to All, DIGITALly! As we celebrate #digitalhealthweek2024, We are reminded of just how far we’ve come in reimagining healthcare across Africa—and how much further we’re eager to go. With good technology and utmost compassion, we’re proud to be at the heart of this digital health movement, bringing quality healthcare closer to those who need it most. Last week was incredible as we joined inspiring voices at the Africa HealthTech Summit - AHTS, sharing ideas with other passionate leaders, youth advocates, and organizations that believe in a brighter future for healthcare on our continent. We’re here because we believe healthcare should be simple, affordable, and accessible. With Pharmarun today, pharmacies can service more customers, people can access quality medications, get free health consultations, monitor their health from wherever they are on the pharmarun app — all with just a few clicks. To us, digital health means using technology to break down barriers, whether distance, cost or even stigma. And every day, we’re excited to be part of that journey, making healthcare easier for people to access, especially in hard-to-reach places. We see digital health as the path to a healthier, more connected Africa, where everyone can get the care they need without hurdles. Being part of The Africa Digital Health Networks - ADHN means we’re not in this alone. There is a network of brilliant minds working together to drive change, share resources, and solve the continent’s healthcare challenges with new, bold ideas. We invite you to join us in supporting this mission, to be part of the solution, and to help drive the next wave of health innovation. Want to be a part of something rewarding? Join The Africa Digital Health Networks - ADHN today. #pharmarun #onlinepharmacy #healthtechnology #digitalhealthcare #digitalhealthweek

💡 Collaborating to Drive #DigitalHealth Transformation Across Africa! We recently convened the AU Member States Digital Health Leaders Forum and hosted a panel on “Perspectives of Digital Health Implementation in Africa” at the Africa HealthTech Summit - AHTS, in collaboration with Africa CDC. These events provided a unique platform for digital health coordinators from African Union member states’ to share insights, learn from one another, and strengthen collaboration. While many countries face similar challenges in implementing their respective digital health, their solutions often carry unique perspectives that can inspire new approaches elsewhere. By bringing these voices together, we can foster a stronger, more unified movement towards sustainable digital health transformation across the continent. We remain committed to enabling collaboration and peer learning among member states, recognising the critical need for improved continental coordination to achieve #digitalhealth transformation in Africa! #AHTS2024 #Innovation #Health #HealthEquity #DigitalHealth #AfricanUnion #Africa

So excited to read of this engagement by the African Union (Africa CDC) The #digital gaps in #health particularly where it applies to information access and #healthliteracy access should be a core focus by our leaders as we look at innovative health responses. Harnessing the digital space will drive the expansion of #universal health coverage by addressing #access barriers, bridging the infrastructure barrier and sharing health service #information. The #telemedicine approach will allow health responses to reach hard to reach areas and the #rural and underserved communities. Things like digital consultation and delivery of medications will benefit #communities affected by economic challenges and #poverty. Governments need to invest in digital health initiatives.

#digitalhealth is changing the way we think about healthcare, and Samuel Knauss will be at the World Health Summit’s side event, 'Digital Health Unbound', on the 16.10. to be part of the conversation, organized by the Global Digital Last Mile Health Lab at the Charité Center for Global Health together with the Geneva Digital Health Hub and the Digital Transformations of Health Lab (DTH-Lab) in Geneva. What’s on the agenda? The big question: How can digital health leap over borders and break down barriers? How can we make sure it’s not just about fancy tech but about real, tangible access to care for everyone? It’s all about collaboration, innovation, and scaling solutions – the kind of work that fuels everything we do. We’ve been doing this since 2022 – building a digitally-enabled ecosystem that connects producers, healthcare providers, and companies. Our platform triangulates and validates data on health and livelihoods (all with a lock-tight grip on privacy), bringing healthcare to thousands of small-scale producers across Ghana, Madagascar, Ecuador, and Venezuela. So, when we say we are excited about what is going down at Digital Health Unbound – it is because this is what we truly believe in real-world impact, powered by digital health. If you’re in Berlin for the event (and we hope you are!), grab a coffee with Samuel Knauss, and let’s see how we can keep pushing the limits of healthcare together.

Our Deputy Director Global Health Informatics at eHealth Africa, AbdulHamid Yahaya was a guest on the Global Digest Show with ADVOCATE BROADCASTING NETWORK yesterday.
