Sub-Saharan Africa has, on average, the worst healthcare in the world, according to the World Bank. It accounts for nearly a quarter of all disability and death caused by disease worldwide, yet has only 1% of global health expenditure and 3% of the world’s health workers.Infrastructure is poor, making access to even the most basic medical care difficult.But new technologies — from drones to apps and computer-controlled vending machines — are helping to break down these barriers and provideaccess to vital medicines for many more people.
