About HealthTech Connect 2026

South Africa’s healthcare system is undergoing a rapid, technology-driven transformation. Digital health is no longer experimental; it has become a strategic enabler of national health goals.

From AI-powered diagnostics and precision genomics to digital mental health, wearables, and cybersecurity, technology is reshaping clinical workflows, expanding access to care, and strengthening system resilience across the country.

The 2nd HealthTech Connect 2026 convenes South Africa’s public and private sector leaders, CIOs, health IT professionals, clinicians, innovators, and investors to tackle a pressing challenge:

How do we translate digital capability into a connected, trusted, and people-centered health system on a national scale?
