About Event
Across Africa, indigenous knowledge systems remain central to community health. As AI reshapes healthcare, how can we ensure these tools complement traditional practices?
This webinar explores ethical, practical strategies for integrating AI with community-based care. From local language adaptation to co-design with traditional health actors, we’ll highlight real-world case studies and lessons on building AI that reflects local realities and values.
