Appropriate healthcare technologies for low resource settings 2024 (session 1)

Hear from our chosen abstract speakers on the key topics that are important to AHT in 2024.

Speakers will be listed after the call for abstracts has been finalised.

Delivering effective healthcare in environments with low resources faces many challenges. Some factors which may be detrimental to the provision of adequate healthcare in low resource settings include lack of sufficient financial resources, facilities and infrastructure; insufficient and/or inadequately educated and trained staff; lack of test equipment, manuals and spare parts; inappropriate equipment donations; large number of healthcare equipment out of service; unreliable power and water supplies; political instability and war.

At AHT2024, we shall be highlighting and discussing appropriate technological developments to meet these needs, and invite submissions for presentations. The emphasis should, where possible, be on Innovation, Design and Engineering. Case studies from the field, including those which experienced serious challenges, or even failure, can be instructive in helping future projects.
