The integration of data science and artificial intelligence approaches, through multidisciplinary collaboration, is set to advance health research in Africa. Here, we describe the Harnessing Data Science for Health Discovery and Innovation in Africa-funded effort for enhancing healthcare delivery, disease surveillance, predictive modelling, capacity building and research innovation across Africa and globally. Xiong et al. discuss the Data Science for Health Discovery and Innovation in Africa, a US-Africa partnership aiming to transform health via innovative data science. Achievements to date include 38 projects in 22 African countries, an open FAIR data ecosystem, and AI tools for disease management and pandemic preparedness.
