East Africa Health Summit on YouTube

Those of you who were unable to join us live for the virtual East Africa Health Summit may like to watch this video recording of the event. It is split into 3 sections and centres around discussions on how to reduce the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR):

The first section is all about the Community Health Programme and the role it plays in reducing MMR.

The second section is a panel discussion on Public Private Partnership (PPP) with HSoA Patrons Bim Afolami MP and Hefin Rees QC, who are joined by Dr Jonathan Wangisi (District Health Officer Mbale District, Uganda) and Richard Okotel (Executive Director Spotlight on Africa Uganda Foundation).

And finally, there are three short talks about the transformational effect of IT in healthcare in sub-Saharan Africa by Dr Peter Smith (EMR4DW), Lord St John of Bletso and Professor Peter Olupot Olupot (Clinical and Infectious Disease Epidemiology, Mbale Referral Hospital)

We hope you enjoy watching the presentations East Africa Health Summit Presentation
