A look at TAMC 2023

The first annual Transforming African MedTech Conference was a great success, with stakeholders in attendance who contributed their unique expertise to constructive discussions and panels.

We left the event with not only plenty of inspiration and motivation, but an action plan for how to move the medtech space in Africa forward.

And this is only the beginning. We look forward to convening again next year to continue on the journey.
