Africa’s COVID-19 health technologies’ watershed moment

The Lancet "The COVID-19 pandemic has spread across Africa, with every country on the continent confirming cases of the disease. In addition to efforts aimed at flattening the disease curve, improving diagnosis, and ensuring case finding and management align with global benchmarks, health systems in African countries are also facing several local challenges that foreign solutions may not effectively help with. These challenges are presenting opportunities for the health technologies sector in Africa, which is now seeing more activity than was anticipated at the outset of 2020."
