The #ThereIsNoAppForThis team has been busy across #EastAfrica!
At #AMCOA2025 in Kampala 🇺🇬, we hosted a session on #DigitalHealthRegulation in Africa, bringing together participants from 18 countries.
Using #Uganda as a case study, we explored the development & implementation of Digital Health Guidelines.
Participants mapped oversight institutions in their countries & reflected on governance experiences.
A panel discussion wrapped up the session.. sharing insights from across the continent & sparking dialogue on building robust, context-sensitive digital health governance.
