Data becomes valuable when it helps leaders act. At #AHTS5, @FredSwaniker, Founder and CEO of @SandTechInc, shared how fragmented health data can be connected and converted into actionable intelligence, giving governments a clearer view of their health systems and a stronger basis for planning, investment and delivery. This capability is helping to establish health intelligence centres across #Africa, where evidence can inform decisions at the speed and scale that modern health systems require. The opportunity extends beyond collecting more data. It lies in building the infrastructure, talent and institutional capacity to turn that data into better health outcomes. #AfricaHealthTechSummit #AHTSAt5 #WellnessForAll

.@FredSwaniker has spent his career building the people and institutions #Africa needs for its future. Tomorrow, he brings that experience to #AHTS5. In conversation with @georgiendirangu, the Founder and CEO of @SandTechInc will explore: Who Builds the Builders? Leadership for Africa’s Intelligent Health Systems. With millions of young Africans entering the labour market each year, the continent needs leaders who can develop talent, build enduring institutions and turn promising technologies into systems that work at scale. Drawing on Fred’s experience building four institutions and deploying #AI across health, energy and telecommunications, this fireside chat will examine what it takes to lead beyond a single product, project or pilot. Thursday, 1 October | 2:30 PM to 3:00 PM | MH 1 Join us for a focused conversation on leadership, talent and the institutions that will shape Africa’s intelligent health future. #AfricaHealthTechSummit #AHTSAt5 #AHTS2026 #WellnessForAll
