What's new?

In recent years, "AI for Good" has become a fixture on global conference panels, corporate CSR decks, and international development agendas. But for us at EPCON, it’s not a slogan — it’s a daily commitment to making artificial intelligence useful, ethical, and impactful in some of the world’s most underserved health systems.

We’re delighted to introduce Bernadette Nkhata, one of EPCON’s newest additions, and our new health-focused Project Manager as our team continues to grow. Bernadette joined in May 2025, bringing with her a wealth of experience in global health and a deep commitment to equitable, data-informed public health systems.

In the world of public health, national averages can be dangerously misleading. One district may appear “on track” for TB elimination, while a neighboring community faces an unseen outbreak. A country may report progress in HIV testing, but high-risk groups in specific urban slums remain completely underserved.

At the recent KNCV - PCF workshop in Nigeria, organised by the National and State level program, Vincent Meurrens, founder and COO of EPCON, presented the organisation’s contributions and actively participated in technical discussions.

Artificial Intelligence is changing how we predict, prevent, and respond to disease outbreaks. At EPCON, we’ve seen firsthand how AI can offer governments and NGOs a powerful new lens to act faster and smarter.
