Canada–Africa Digital Health Roundtable at the AHTS
Co-hosted by Africa Digital Health Networks (ADHN) and Digital Health Canada
Africa and Canada are both at pivotal points in their digital health journeys, yet their ecosystems have rarely converged in a structured way. This roundtable is designed to change that. Africa’s trajectory is defined by urgency and scale. Through ADHN and Africa CDC-led initiatives, the continent is rapidly building a continent-wide digital health ecosystem, anchored in workforce development, platform deployment, and the adoption of locally-driven innovation.
Canada brings institutional depth. With over five decades of leadership in health system digitization, Digital Health Canada represents a mature network spanning policy, interoperability standards, and
real-world implementation at scale. The opportunity is mutual. Africa gains from Canada’s hard-won implementation experience and institutional credibility. Canada gains access to high-growth markets, global impact pathways, and the kind of innovation partnerships that redefine what health system transformation can look like in the 21st century. This roundtable creates a structured bridge between these two ecosystems, with the explicit intent of generating tangible collaboration that outlasts the conversation.
