Building AI-Ready Health Systems in Africa – Infrastructure, Governance, Local Ownership, Data, and Deployment

International Medical Exchange, in partnership with the International Society for Telemedicine & eHealth, announce the second webinar in the AI4African Health Initiative series, to be held on November 18, 2026. These webinars are designed as engagements leading up to the AI4African Health Initiative Stakeholder Conference, taking place in Morocco in April ’27. The series will help shape the strategic agenda, align key stakeholders, and build momentum toward this major continental convening.

The AI4African Health Initiative brings together national bodies such as Ministries of Health, Ministries dealing with Technology, and Development Finance Institutions, along with intergovernmental organizations such as WHO, Africa CDC, the African Union, as well as global technology leaders, academia, civil society and investors from across all 54 African countries, to mobilize collective action around AI-enabled health transformation.

The goal is to position Africa not merely as a recipient of digital health innovations, but as a leader in ethical design, deployment and scaling of AI-driven healthcare systems – rooted in African ownership, local contexts and sustainable implementation.
