Roundtables

02 September 2020

South Africa has an acute situation. Affordable healthcare access is not a reality for all. Yet in 2017, the country spent nine percent of its GDP on healthcare ‒ four percent higher than the WHO benchmark. Problems exist in both the public and private healthcare sectors. Brainstorm and AWS hosted a virtual roundtable, inviting healthcare and technology experts to weigh in.

“Based on customer feedback, we clustered demand in three areas,” says Jens Dommel, head of Healthcare for EMEA, AWS. “ The first is the national and clinical cloud transformation. The second is prediction in healthcare. And the third is a personalised health journey. Behind these is national clinical cloud transformation. Here we see a lot of customers migrating their workloads to the cloud to have a reliable, scalable, secure infrastructure.”
