The HELINA 2022 was rescheduled due to COVID-19 related travel uncertainties. Although global travel bans had been lifted, many potential participants were still cautious. The conference is now scheduled to take place in Cape Town, South Africa between October 30th – November 3rd 2023 and will be hosted by the South Africa Health Informatics Association (SAHIA). The theme of the conference is “Effective Implementation, Meaningful Use and Sustainability of Digital Health Interventions: The Role of Health Informatics and Imaging Informatics in Africa”. The conference details, including the registration portal, can be found at https://helina.samrc.ac.za//.

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.
