How would enabling professionals with knowledge in coding transform medical practice in developing countries? Join us with Ayen Kuol and Stephen Lagu as we dive into the landscape of coding technology in practice and explore its relationship & possibilities with the people of South Sudan. We introduce the concept of the 'psychology of coding' , and some of the ways that the cultural gaps--which obstruct the propagation of new technology--can be bridged. At the core of this discussion is a vision for a unified and inclusive Africa.
