05 - 06 October 2010
Nairobi Kenya, South Africa (Venue: Crowne Plaza Hotel)
**** A  Medicare Africa Ltd  EVENT *****
4th ANNUAL AFRIHealth CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION
Introduction
The Conference was first run in 2007 to bring together researchers, medical practitioners and ICT personnel to share information on developments in the use of ICT to improve healthcare delivery in Africa, (especially East Africa). This provided a wealth of topics which have included:
      · Telemedicine developments in Africa,
      · Access to patient data,
      · Patient Data Switch development,
      · The use of EDI for purchasing hospital consumables (particularly Pharmaceuticals),
      · Internet based learning programmes for Nurses and Clinicians,
      · The use of Cellular phone technology to access diagnostic information, to alert patients to maintain their drug regimes and for the public to access data on drugs and healthcare queries.
      · Hospital and Clinic Health Information management Systems developments using local examples.
This year, 2010, we are excited with the inclusion of The International Society for Telemedicine and e- Health (ISfTeH) as partners for the conference. This will bring a new dimension to the conference content.
Conference Theme This year the theme is: “e-Health – The African Dimension”
The theme questions the extent of current research and development using ICT technology and the amount of effort being made to progress developments in the African Healthcare arena. More importantly however is the influence of international telemedicine science on Africa. We believe that we can do much more than is presently being done for Healthcare and we can learn from the international community. Will the continent’s governments embrace the opportunities?
The Conference will be the meeting point for all healthcare participants to share ideas, showcase developments, and develop action plans to speed up improvements in the industry. How is Africa coping with e-health development and how much influence will the International Dimension bear on this.

DURBAN INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION CENTRE - DURBAN - SOUTH AFRICA
In Pursuit of Service Excellence: Sustainable City and Town Development in Africa
The impact of globalisation on city management is being increasingly felt on a daily basis. The cities that succeed in this perpetually changing global arena are those that develop people who can lead and implement management strategies across borders, cultures and a host of logistical and legal complexities. Faced with limited funding, cities, municipalities and districts have developed a range of community- grown strategies for expanding the resources available for affordable city development

"Participation Builds Unity"

"MADE IN AFRICA - FOR AFRICA"

THE FOUNDATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AFRICA
is a private, 'not-for-profit', non-membership, organisation actively serving Africa by promoting processes conducive to sustainable development
......throughout Africa - with the emphasis on sustainability!
This organisation is currently rated as one of the most proactive Sustainable Business Development Organisations in Africa!
Serving Africa since 1999.

We are actively involved with promoting the
AFRICAN RENEWAL PROGRAMME

However -
We firmly believe that sustainable development is a process that must start from within - Africa needs to "partner" with herself first!
We also prefer the phrase: "Lets create wealth" rather than "Lets alleviate poverty"
Our initiatives include enabler 'showcasing'; networking opportunities; business opportunities; investment opportunities; promotion of special projects; dissemination of business information; joint venture initiatives and a range of value added services - all to serve
AFRICA!

We facilitate processes, including networking sessions that would lead to sustainable development, hence our motto:
"Nothing is as ‘powerful’ as the Human Network"
PETER METCALFE
1999

"Sustainable Development is the action and/or act of bringing people and/or processes into position for the effective use in the support and/or delivery of efforts, conducts and the cause!"

HOW THEN CAN I PARTICIPATE?
