The Digital Health Show 2026 will make its highly anticipated inaugural debut in Gauteng on 25/26 March, firmly positioning itself as a cornerstone event for the future of healthcare on the African continent.
Taking place in Expo Hall 2 at the Sandton Convention Centre, in the heart of Johannesburg’s business hub, the event forms part of the rapidly expanding SAPHEX & Co-Located Events, which will be the biggest edition to date.
Held over two dynamic days, the Digital Health Show will unite healthcare professionals, innovators, policymakers, clinicians, technology providers, and industry leaders to explore how digital transformation is reshaping healthcare delivery, access, efficiency, and patient outcomes across Africa.
Landmark event
The Digital Health Show is launched at a pivotal time for healthcare systems globally and across Africa. Rapid advances in digital technologies, artificial intelligence, telemedicine, data-driven care, and connected health platforms are redefining how care is delivered and accessed.
This inaugural edition responds directly to these shifts, creating a dedicated marketplace and knowledge platform focused exclusively on digital health innovation.
The conference programme is delivered in partnership with Africa Telehealth Collaboration (ATC), united regional and international expertise to ensure the programme is practical, relevant, and aligned with real-world healthcare challenges.
CPD-accredited conference programme
A key highlight of the Digital Health Show 2026 is its CPD-accredited conference programme, designed to support continuous professional development while delivering actionable insights. Delegates will gain exposure to expert-led keynote sessions, panel discussions, and case studies addressing:
• Digital transformation in healthcare systems;
• Telehealth and virtual care models;
• AI and data-driven decision-making;
• Interoperability, health data, and cybersecurity;
• Patient-centric digital care pathways; and
• Sustainable, scalable healthcare innovation
By combining strategic vision with practical implementation, the programme ensures attendees leave with knowledge they can immediately apply within their organisations and practices.
Part of the largest SAPHEX & co-located events to date
The Digital Health Show forms part of the broader SAPHEX & Co-Located Events, which include SAPHEX, The Pharmacy Show, GP Expo, The Hospital Show, and MCBC. Collectively, these have experienced significant year-on-year growth, with 2026 confirmed as the largest edition yet.
Across the three days, the combined events are expected to attract more than 4 500 healthcare professionals and feature 200+ exhibitors, showcasing solutions spanning pharmaceuticals, medical devices, hospital infrastructure, primary care, pharmacy, and digital health technologies.
This co-located format creates a powerful, integrated marketplace where cross-sector collaboration is not only encouraged but embedded into the event experience.
Expo Hall 2: a dedicated marketplace
The Digital Health Show will be hosted in Expo Hall 2 at the Sandton Convention Centre, one of Africa’s leading conference and exhibition venues, with easy access for local, regional, and international delegates.
Expo Hall 2 will house a curated exhibition floor featuring digital health innovators, technology providers, startups, and established global brands. Exhibitors will showcase solutions ranging from telehealth platforms and AI-driven diagnostics to remote monitoring, digital therapeutics, and wellness technologies.
Driving collaboration and knowledge exchange
Beyond the exhibition floor, the Digital Health Show is designed as a collaborative environment that fosters meaningful dialogue and partnership-building. By bringing together clinicians, healthcare executives, policymakers, technologists, and investors, the event creates opportunities to bridge gaps between innovation and implementation.
The partnership with Africa Telehealth Collaboration strengthens this objective, ensuring that discussions reflect African healthcare realities while drawing on global best practice.
Platform for the future of healthcare
The Digital Health Show 2026 is more than an event – it is a platform for shaping the future of healthcare delivery in Africa.
