On Wednesday, September 20, our three winning startups of the Healthcare Challenge were welcomed by the CM Consulting team at their headquarters as part of the 5th edition of the Algeria Startup Challenge program.

During this captivating day, our startups participated in a workshop led by CM Consulting experts on the theme: "Agile Management of Health Transformation Projects." This is a key topic at CM Consulting, shared with the startups to equip them with essential tools for implementing and designing successful digital health products inspired by agile methodology.

But that’s not all! The day was marked by idea exchanges, brainstorming, and enriching discussions on the contribution of new technologies to improving the patient journey in Algeria and the healthcare sector more broadly.
