Zambia consolidates 12 million patient records into unified system, laying groundwork for AI-Driven healthcare
Zambia has integrated more than 12 million patient records into a unified electronic health records system, laying the groundwork for AI-ready healthcare delivery nationwide. Officials said the SmartCare Pro platform is now live in over 2,000 health facilities, replacing more than 1,600 legacy databases and improving data sharing across the health system.
The initiative, presented at the World Internet Conference in Hong Kong on 14 April, also includes training for more than 14,000 health workers. Authorities said Zambia’s approach, based on national ownership of health data and stronger digital infrastructure, is designed to support future analytics and responsible use of AI in healthcare.

Africa attracts $16.1billion in Q1 2026 as mega deals dominate investment landscape
Africa’s private capital market kicked off 2026 with impressive momentum on the value front, even as the number of deals moderated. This shift points to a more selective and disciplined approach by investors across the continent.
According to Stears’ latest Private Capital Activity Report, disclosed deal value in Q1 2026 reached a robust $16.1 billion — a strong start for the year. However, the total number of transactions dipped to 172, down from 188 in the previous quarter and 201 in the same period a year earlier.
The quarter was dominated by large Nigerian transactions, headlined by two blockbuster deals: the $6.2 billion MTN–IHS transaction and the $4 billion in financing for Dangote Refinery. Together, these deals accounted for about two-thirds of the total disclosed deal value.
