HELINA 2020/2021 Conference

The annual HELINA Scientific Conference was originally scheduled to take place from October 6 -8, 2020 in Kampala, Uganda, hosted by the Uganda Health Informatics Association (UgHIA), the newest Member of HELINA. However, due to the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the HELINA Board in consultation with UgHIA, have now scheduled this conference to take place from 7th - 11th June, 2021 as a blended conference (with options for virtual and in-person attendance). The conference theme is “Use of Digital Technologies to Build Capacity of Health Professionals in Low and Middle Income Countries”. The Kenya Health Informatics Association (KeHIA) is supporting UgHIA through a HELINA mediated peer mentorship arrangement. Accepted and presented full research papers will be published in a special edition of the Journal of Health Informatics in Africa (JHIA) – http://www.jhia-online.org – and the accepted work-in-progress papers, case studies/experience papers will be electronically published in the conference Proceedings with ISBN by Koegni-eHealth and made available on the conference website.
