Africa Health is a major three-day exhibition and congress dedicated to all healthcare professionals and medical trade buyers. Africa Health, part of Informa Exhibitions’ successful life sciences portfolio, is also the sister event of Arab Health, the second largest healthcare event in the world.

Informa Exhibitions has been attracting the best medical expertise for over 35 years and now brings its experience to the Africa Health Congress.

The first edition of Africa Health launched in May 2011 and was a great success with hundreds of delegates attending from 32 sub-Saharan African countries, including delegations from the Ministries of Health of Namibia and Malawi. Over 150 renowned local and international speakers presented the latest advances and updates in their medical specialities.

For the 2nd edition, Africa Health will host a congress featuring 12 clinical and non-clinical conferences, all CPD-accredited, from imaging and radiology, medical laboratory through to mobile health, quality standards and infectious diseases*.

In order to present you with an even broader programme, we are introducing four new conferences for this year’s congress:• Pan-African Paediatrics Conference 2012• Pan-African Orthopaedics Conference 2012 • m+Health in Africa – 2012• Pan-African Healthcare Management Conference 2012

Running alongside the congress, the Africa Health Exhibition showcases the products and services of over 450 exhibitors, including leading companies such as Draeger, Fujifilm, Karl Storz, Nihon Kohden, Maquet, and many more. In 2011, more than 30 nations were represented including pavilions from China, Germany, France, Korea, India, Taiwan, Italy, Bavaria, USA and Iran.

2nd international Quality and Accreditation in Healthcare Conference 2012


2nd Ethics, Human rights and Medical Law Conference 2012


Pan-African Healthcare Management Conference 2012



9.55 Introduction by your Chairman Kenneth Seymens, Managing Partner, Medica IQ, USA

Opening Keynote10.00 Vision 2020 – A transition lead by Healthcare Management Africa’s healthcare landscape is experiencing strategic change. It is on boarding a layer of maturity which needs strong management. What then is the state of play in Africa and how does it envision the end of the decade? Dr. Adham Ismail, Regional Advisor, Health Technology and Biomedical Devices, World Health Organization, Egypt

10.45 EHR (Electronic Health Records) – Beyond the synergy? Amongst core foundations of NHI is a nationwide EHR system. As ambitious as this may sound, it accelerates the success factors in generating revenue seamlessly in NHI. This presentation highlights an implementation plan which aligns to our national strategy with room for expansion and improvement as we move towards a state-of-the-art healthcare system. Greg White, Vice President and Managing Director, Cerner Middle East and Africa, USA

11.30 Coffee Break

12.00 The challenges of introducing a National Health Insurance (NHI) model This session will discuss the core challenges which form the necessity to change, just as the National Health Services (NHS – UK) did after 40 years: Humana Europe was commissioned to the NHS – UK attending to 152 PTC (Primary Care Trusts). Kenneth Seymens, Managing Partner, Medica IQ, USA

13.00 Lunch

14.30 Primary versus Tertiary care – Is there place in Africa for the latter? Issues focused on primary care have navigated the industry to focus no further. Africa is advancing towards secondary care, medical tourism and an influx of practitioners as the healthcare systems begins its overhaul. Perhaps the time is right to extend tertiary care towards improved outcomes and better access to medical care? Bongani Mayosi, Professor and Head of Department of Medicine, University of Cape Town, South Africa (invited)

The Diepsloot Township Case Study15.15 The Role of Pharma in seamless Healthcare Pharma has always led behind the scenes. It caters of the core foundations of epidemics and chronic illness but is seldom known for its role in preventive care. This session will highlight the focus Pharma sees for better implementation of NHI and HER. Zane Wilson, Founder and Director, The South African Depression and Anxiety Group, South Africa

16.00 Close of Day 1

Day 2 – Friday 11, May 2012

9.55 Recap of Day 1 by the Chairman Kenneth Seymens, Managing Partner, Medica IQ, USA

10.00 Integrated Healthcare – Can we afford to sit on the fence? An ideal delivery model would include a platform of infra structure and technology integrating healthcare delivery to deliver customised content. How do we align stakeholders to move ahead? Dr. Ruchi Dass, Founder and CEO, HealthCursor Consulting Group, India

10.30 PPP (Public Private Partnership) and PE (Private Equity) – Are they uneasy bedfellows in healthcare? The government’s mandatory portfolio of extending healthcare across the board always overshadows their contribution. In reality, do private investors spot the opportunities others miss or are they inherently destined to succeed due to the option of choice they exercise when identifying voluntary projects? Prof. Alex van den Heever, Chair of the Social Security Systems Administration and Management of Wits University, Johannesburg, South Africa

11.00 Coffee Break

11.30 Importance of Technology in Healthcare An unnoticed contributor to healthcare’s efficient productivity, technology has never been considered the core factor disciplines like surgery and related procedural advances in healthcare. How much does it really contribute and what is its vision of Africa’s future? Dr. Adham Ismail, Regional Advisor, Health Technology and Biomedical Devices, World Health Organization, Egypt

12.00 Electronic Health Records (EHR) – Do they pose a risk to patient confidentiality? This session will discuss risk from both an infringement of privacy perspective (patient concerns) and a commercially focused discrimination perspective (refusal of insurance based on information access). Has there been an erosion of patient confidentiality? Can it be used in a National Health Insurance (NHI) environment? Dr. Monwabisi Gantsho, Chief Executive and Registrar, Council of Medical Schemes, South Africa

12.30 Lunch

interactive CPD Lecture14.00 World Class Management in Healthcare Management has always revolved around core principles which deliver. Leaders have practiced them over the years. Implementing them to healthcare specifically to generate better growth and perception of industry trends will be the focus of this outcome-oriented workshop where management can implement tangible takeaways within their organisation. • Leadership Elements for World Class Healthcare • New dimensions in leadership • Priority pillars

• Strategy and alignment • Service Delivery Elements for World Class Healthcare • Building an organisation of excellence • Partnerships and affiliations • Knowledge transfer – bridging the gap Bassam Al Sayad, Chief Operating Officer, Corniche Hospital, Abu Dhabi, UAE - Johns Hopkins Medicine International, and Faculty Associate, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Department of Health Policy and Management, USA

9.55 Introduction by the Chairman Dr. Darian van Loggerenberg, Acting General Manager and Head: Private Practice Department, South African Medical Association, South Africa

10.00 A Doctor’s Perspective What role does a doctor play in an ever-changing healthcare industry where technology is as integrated to his/her diagnosis, treatment and post-operative care as he/she is to the patient? Does he/she sit on the side lines or can he/she be at the forefront of this massive transition? At the end of the day, the doctor and patient have a unique relationship which even technology cannot facilitate. Dr. Darian van Loggerenberg, Acting General Manager and Head: Private Practice Department, South African Medical Association, South Africa

10.30 Benefits of Remote Monitoring in Chronic care Africa’s epidemics have taken the attention away from chronic care. Decision-makers sit on the fence debating if they should address the dying of those in need of long-term managed care. Perhaps Africa has found the solution to both via the use of mobile technology in healthcare. Dr. Brian Chicksen, Head of Health Services, AngloGold Ashanti, South Africa (invited)

11.00 Coffee Break

11:30 Who Sets the Tone for mHealth Africa? Stakeholders have often taken a back seat in leading this innovative industry.

15.30 International mHealth Initiatives Dr. Ruchi Dass, Founder and CEO, HealthCursor Consulting Group, India Adi Codaty, Innovation and R&D, Infrastructure, United Health Group, India Dr. David W. Morgan, Associate Professor, University of Warwick, UK (NHS evidence cases applicable in Africa)

Healthcare in Africa is undergoing drastic change, with the impending National Health Insurance Plan implementation, as well as with the large private investment taking place in Africa’s healthcare system.

This drastic change will result in a “re-engineering” of healthcare services and infrastructure not only in South Africa, but across Africa as a whole.

As a senior professional in the healthcare sector it is imperative that you stay on-top of the latest developments in the healthcare industry so you are positioned to drive this change forward.

The Africa Health Exhibition will take place from 9-11 May 2012, and will feature the latest innovations and developments in medical equipment and solutions from leaders in the healthcare industry such as Draeger, Karl Storz, Maquet, Fuji, Terumo and many more.

Whether you are interested in solutions on a hospital, national or regional level, or are looking for products and information specific to a speciality such as orthopaedics, paediatrics or cardiology, then Africa Health can’t be missed.

• 7,500 sqms of exhibition space

• Over 400 local and international exhibitors

• 17 country pavilions

• Enjoy live product demonstrations

• Source new suppliers and strengthen your relationship with existing ones

adopted from the exhibition.”

the logistic problems of service agreements.”
