Our explores how Antibiogo, an open-source mobile application developed by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), is turning standard smartphones into tools for antibiotic susceptibility testing.

By using image recognition and AI to measure inhibition zones on antibiotic susceptibility test plates, Antibiogo can help laboratory workers interpret results and support more informed antibiotic prescribing decisions. Its offline functionality also makes it particularly relevant for laboratories operating in resource-constrained settings.

Across Africa, where healthcare facilities face shortages of trained microbiologists and access to automated diagnostic equipment, tools that make reliable antimicrobial susceptibility testing more accessible could contribute to stronger diagnostics, surveillance and antimicrobial stewardship.

Strong public health systems rely on more than resources; they depend on timely, reliable evidence to guide action.

“Local manufacturing of health products is no longer a goal we can postpone; it is an urgent priority. It sits at the heart of Africa’s health security and sovereignty agenda.” - H.E. William Ruto

Africa’s health security depends, in part, on its capacity to produce the health products its people need. Achieving this requires sustained investment, stronger partnerships, and deliberate action to build local capacity.

What if we stopped planning only for survival and started planning for the future we want to create?

As Amb. Amma A. Twum-Amoah, Commissioner for Health, Humanitarian Affairs and Social Development, African Union Commission, reminds us:

“We need to move from budgeting for survival to planning for sovereignty.”

A powerful reminder that Africa’s progress calls for planning, bold leadership, stronger systems and sustainable solutions.

Meaningful transformation does not always begin with doing more. Sometimes, it begins with doing better.

In healthcare, small improvements in our systems, decisions and ways of working can create significant impact. As Charles Okeahalam reminds us, “If we improve ourselves and systems by just 20%, we could see an 80% improvement in healthcare outcomes.”

This week, what will you improve?
