The Future of Hospitals, from the South * Epistemologies & Experimentations
How do we approach possible formations for the hospitals of the future from the Global South and from a social science and humanities perspective that centres the human being and human dignity? “The future Hospital” is a collaborative project between Ceped and The Institute for the Humanities in Africa (HUMA), University of Cape Town that has received funding from the PHC-PROTEA (scientific partnership between France and South Africa) and from the Global Research Institute of Paris at Université Paris Cité. As part of this collaboration a group of researchers have gathered in November 2024 in Cape Town for the first workshop of this exchange program for our two teams (Ceped and HUMA). The workshop titled AI and the future of hospital care in Africa contributed to critically interrogate the technological shifts that AI brings to care, and particularly hospital care, by mapping and scrutinizing the ethical quandaries or dilemmas that the euphoria for AI activates in a continent deemed to be at the frontiers of transformative AI. In June 2025 we will gather again in Paris for the part 2 titled The future of hospitals, from the South. Epistemologies & Experimentations”. We aim to consider the future as a pressing question to be addressed with radical epistemic and methodological shifts that require collective, borderless and interdisciplinary research and public engagement. * Ceped, IRD/ Université Paris Cité, France and HUMA, University of Cape Town, South Africa Funded by the PHC France-South Africa and the Global Research Institute of Paris (GRIP) MSH Paris-Nord 20 avenue George Sand 93210 Saint-Denis, metro 12 Front Populaire *
