2020 has seen an unprecedented upheaval in every sector of most countries, Nigeria inclusive. COVID-19 and the accompanying panic has put healthcare into greater focus. The upheaval has also produced unique innovations that Nigeria’s health space may otherwise not have seen in the near future. What innovations should become systemic? What innovations need to be tweaked? And ultimately, how would all the innovations caused by and or related to the COVID19 pandemic help to strengthen access to health care for the most vulnerable populations?
After leading a successful and rewarding five series of the Future of Health Conference. The Future of Health Conference 2020 for the first time will be delivered via a webinar format. Innovations in healthcare are important for every part of the healthcare ecosystem, and creating maximum impact will require coordinated effort and collaboration across the various stakeholders.
This year’s Future of Health Conference, tagged #Innovation4HealthNaija, will help showcase innovations in Nigeria’s health space and offers attendees the opportunity to connect with healthcare innovators and learn firsthand about healthcare innovations, connect with funders and organisations that can help innovators at every stage of development increase their impact in healthcare and learn about and share insights about the challenges and opportunities scaling up global healthcare innovations.
