About the Insights Learning Forum

The Insights Learning Forum (ILF) is eHealth Africa’s flagship annual event, designed to bring together experts, policymakers, and innovators to discuss the role of digital technology in strengthening healthcare systems across Africa.

What started as a webinar has evolved into a high-impact knowledge-sharing platform, where public health challenges are explored, best practices are shared, and new solutions are shaped.
