Our Mission

IME's mission is to bring together healthcare professionals, policymakers, educators, entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and ICT experts from Africa, the U.S., and the African Diaspora to design and implement innovative and effective programs to enhance and extend healthcare delivery in Africa and underserved communities in the U.S.

Public, private and academic partnerships are a vital mechanism for African countries to address their multifaceted healthcare challenges successfully.

Our Vision

The convergence of medical and information technology, the evolution of international policy frameworks, and the shifting landscape of public and private funding present unprecedented opportunities to transform healthcare delivery on a global scale.

IME welcomes collaboration with African governments to strengthen institutional capacity and advance the delivery of quality, equitable healthcare services — with a particular focus on reaching the most underserved communities.
