Past investments in health care have contributed to the overall improvement of health outcomes in
recent decades in Africa, but the persistent high incidence and mortality rates of infectious and noncommunicable diseases reveals that there is still more to be done. Now, Africa’s health care sector
has immense potential to benefit from Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) investments and innovations
to bridge the gap between health care promise and delivery, including capitalizing on the solutions
provided by disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, big data
analytics, 3D printing, the Internet of Things, automated vehicles and drones, cloud computing, and
blockchain technologies.
