Introduction
The healthcare sector is a cornerstone of a thriving society, playing a pivotal role in ensuring the well-being of citizens in Europe and Africa. Yet, both regions face distinct challenges and opportunities within their healthcare systems. Europe, with its established healthcare infrastructure, grapples with an aging population and rising healthcare costs. Conversely, Africa, while experiencing rapid growth in the health sector, contends with a shortage of qualified healthcare professionals and limited resources.
