Africa cannot be captured in a single story, a single voice or a single experience. It lives in our cultures, our resilience, our innovation, our traditions and the countless moments that connect us across borders.

In commemoration of Africa Freedom Day, we invited eight IHM colleagues to answer a few questions about Africa, from places they would love to visit and dishes they enjoy, to music, film, proverbs, and the unique qualities that make our continent stand out.

Eight voices. Eight perspectives. One continent rich in heritage, identity and pride.

If you are African or call Africa home, today we celebrate with you.

Poor data quality is major health risk. When data is incomplete, it compromises care delivery, increases the chances of misdiagnoses, and delays national health intelligence. With the 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱 (𝗘𝗛𝗥), clinicians have been empowered to access patient information that is complete, accurate, and reliable. This 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮-𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 strengthens a clinician’s judgement as they deliver services.

In Northern Province, health facilities using SmartCare Pro explored how access to quality data is 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 and enabling facility in-charges to 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 before they escalate. This ensures that patients receive more personalized, evidence-based care. The impact is visible at every level of the health system: from individual patient consultations to district-wide resource planning and nationwide decision making.

For these frontline healthcare workers, there is one fundamental truth: 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆, 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆: at the point of care, at facility level, and across the healthcare system.

These remarks set the tone for the 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 Meeting held at Sarovar Hotel in Lusaka from 11–13 May 2026. Sponsored by World Health Organization (WHO) and , the meeting brought together stakeholders from government, partners, implementing agencies, academia, and technical teams to strengthen coordination and align priorities across Zambia’s digital health ecosystem.

The TWG continues to serve as a platform for collaboration and technical guidance on national digital health initiatives. Discussions focused on Ministry of Health-led innovations and priorities around interoperability, governance, system strengthening, data use, and sustainability.

Participating stakeholders included the Ministry of Health Zambia, Presidential Delivery Unit Zambia, CDC Zambia, World Health Organization (WHO), Unicef Zambia, United Nations Development Programme - UNDP, SolidarMed, academic institutions, and other implementing partners advancing Zambia’s digital health transformation agenda. As IHM we showcased our collaboration with MoH in advancing digital health resilience, strengthening enterprise architecture, enhancing interoperability, and supporting National Health Exchange Platforms.

Our presentations highlighted:

1️⃣ 𝗭𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗮 𝟯𝟲𝟬 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 for data-driven decision making
2️⃣ Custom monitoring tools to strengthen programme oversight
3️⃣ Rollout of Starlink, APN, GWAN, and GovLink Private 4G infrastructure to improve connectivity

6️⃣ 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼, now active in 2,054 facilities nationwide, and 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝟮.𝟬 being piloted in two facilities

A key highlight was the emphasis on collaboration, sustainability, and consolidation. “Our systems audit shows there is a real need to take stock and consolidate,” shared 𝗜𝗛𝗠 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 . “We have an opportunity to leverage systems already operational, align investments, and accelerate progress as a country.” He further stressed collective action: “Let’s cooperate. Let’s work together. When the country wins, everyone wins.”

In his closing remarks, Andrew Kashoka reminded stakeholders: “We have done quite a lot, but as we close out the 2026 strategy, we have to document not just the activities, but the real impact.”

“Remember that we are an engine that drives sustainability and efficiency.” As IHM, we remain committed to supporting the Ministry of Health and partners in building resilient, interoperable, and sustainable digital health systems that bring quality healthcare closer to every citizen.

What would you do with an extra day in the week?

We asked two of our colleagues, Dr. , Business Development and Private Partnerships Lead, and , Senior Technology Advisor, and their answers did not disappoint.

For Dr. Sam, it would be called a “𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘆”, a day where he’s able to unwind from the work week, and provide the perfect time to fully disengage, refresh the mind, and be truly ready for the week ahead.

Pulak, on the other hand, would dub it a “𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆”. Between a busy work schedule and the "so-called weekend" filled with study and family, Pulak would use the extra time to finally catch up on all the favorite movies he’s been missing.

At IHM, we believe a successful workplace is built on people, and these moments remind us why our people philosophy is more than a policy; it is our everyday culture.

What would you call your extra day? Share your ideas in the comments
