Overview

The Africa AI Health Forum (AAIHF) aims to create a platform for exploring the innovative potential of AI in healthcare delivery across Africa. The maiden edition will focus on generative AI technologies, particularly chatbots, and their role in enhancing disease prevention, control, and surveillance, as well as improving health system efficiency and equitable access to care. The event will showcase real-world AI applications in public health, address implementation challenges, and propose scalable solutions for integrating AI into healthcare systems. Perspectives from funders, regulators, and key stakeholders within the AI-for-health ecosystem in Africa will also be highlighted. Ultimately, the forum seeks to establish a sustainable community of practice to drive ongoing collaboration and innovation in AI-driven healthcare solutions.
