Zambia Pushes Forward with Digital Health Initiatives in Line with 2022-2026 Strategic Plan
In the heart of Gaborone, Botswana, the 2025 Health Informatics in Africa (HELINA) Conference took place, serving as a significant event in the digital health landscape of Africa. This conference, focused on digital health informatics in Africa, provided a platform for countries to share digital health strategies and best practices.
One of the nations actively involved was Zambia, demonstrating its commitment to innovation and leveraging technology to improve public well-being. The country's participation was spearheaded by Mr. Kalamatila Ngoi, the Director of Standards and Compliance at the e-Government Division (SMART Zambia Institute).
Mr. Ngoi participated in a panel discussion at the conference, which was crucial for Zambia as it aligns with the country's Digital Health Strategy 2022-2026. The goal of the panel discussion was to improve healthcare delivery, reduce errors, and enhance access to quality care for all citizens in Zambia.
The focus of the discussion was on localizing the World Health Organization's SMART Guidelines Digital Adaptation Kits (DAKs). By adapting the WHO's DAKs, Zambia can better implement digital health solutions and accelerate the digital transformation of its health sector.
The 2025 Health Informatics in Africa (HELINA) Conference was indeed a platform for showcasing digital health innovation. The event highlighted Zambia's initiatives in digital health as a key part of its broader national development plan to become a prosperous, middle-income nation by 2030.
Despite extensive search results, there is no information available regarding the leader of Standards and Compliance in the e-Government Division or their last involvement in an international conference in Africa prior to the HELINA Conference. However, the participation and leadership of Mr. Ngoi at the HELINA Conference underscore Zambia's dedication to digital health advancements.
The Digital Health Strategy 2022-2026 in Zambia is focused on national healthcare improvement, error reduction, and quality care access. With its active involvement in the HELINA Conference and the implementation of this strategy, Zambia is poised to make significant strides in digital health and improve the overall well-being of its citizens.
