Abstract

Africa’s fourth industrial revolution has been dominated by discourses of infrastructure transformation which include digital healthcare. It is no secret that several smart hospitals in Africa are built through foreign direct investment. Amina Alaoui Soulimani argues that beyond the colonial gaze with which several of these hospitals are established, it is important to explore whether local talent should drive this innovation, and what these technologies mean for the management of patients’ personal data.
