It is truly gratifying to witness the steady growth and increasing impact of the annual Tanzania Health Summit. Each year, this platform expands in scope, bringing together a record number of sessions and a diverse array of ideas contributed by our valued stakeholders and partners. I am confident that the 12th Tanzania Health Summit, taking place this October, will continue to fulfill its mission of providing a dynamic forum for advancing knowledge, research, and technological innovation in healthcare.

We are profoundly grateful for the unwavering support and visionary leadership of Her Excellency Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan, whose commitment to fostering healthcare advancement through technology and innovation inspires us all.

As we convene for this landmark event, we find ourselves at a pivotal juncture in the transformation of healthcare. The rapid evolution of telemedicine, artificial intelligence, and digital health technologies offers unprecedented opportunities to improve patient care, enhance emergency preparedness, strengthen diagnostics, and implement more effective public health strategies. The integration of data, technology, AI, and healthcare presents a unique moment to drive forward the quality, accessibility, and efficiency of healthcare services in Tanzania and beyond. At THS, we are proud to serve as a platform that fosters critical dialogue and collaboration on these groundbreaking developments.

It is a distinct honor for us to continue championing public health by facilitating these vital discussions and partnerships. I encourage all of you to register and actively participate in the sessions, whether in-person or virtually. Engage with peers, explore new collaborations, and discover how innovations in technology and AI can help shape a healthier future for our communities. Together, we can build smarter healthcare systems that deliver equitable and sustainable outcomes for all.

I wish you an insightful and inspiring experience at the 12th Tanzania Health Summit.
