This year’s Web Summit winner, Lalibela Global-Networks, is digitalizing Africa’s paper-based healthcare system in a low-cost, low-code way to save lives and make healthcare affordable
Most of the hospitals in Africa rely on outdated paper-based information systems – a technological gap that has a dramatic impact on the quality of primary medical care. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that in Africa, there’s a 1 in 300 chance of getting a healthcare-induced injury as a result of bad practices and system inefficiencies.
