摘要：The future of Africa is too important to be left
alone in the hands of the Government and African Union. As
Africa arises and begins to journey towards the Africa we
want, we look forward to actualizing Agenda 2063. We do not
see it only as a vision, but also as an action plan set in place,
geared towards achieving the Africa of our dreams. The
purpose of this term paper is to present ways, from the
perspective of an African student, of actualizing the AU 2063
Agenda with the aid of Satellite Communication using remote
health service delivery as a tool. Remote Heath Service
Delivery will serve as an effective tool in the actualization of
the AU Agenda. If the right measures are implemented,
African countries will be amongst the best performers in global
quality of life measures. This can be achieved through wise
investments in Science and Technology. To achieve the AU
2063 Agenda, this paper emphasizes the need for the
incorporation of Satellite Communication. It discusses the
relationship between satellite communication and African
development and maintains that to achieve the 7-Point Agenda,
Satellite Communication cannot be over-emphasized. In a bid
to meet the needs presented by the AU Agenda, different
conventional methods have been proffered as solutions or
likely solutions. Hospitals and other health care service
providers have been built and implemented, but this approach
has been unable to meet the unending demands of proper
health care services that will ensure that African citizens are
healthy and have long life span. These solutions have gone a
long way in reducing mortality rate in Africa, but its effect is
limited. Due to the inadequacies of the conventional methods of
delivering health services to remote areas, ICT has been
included so as to proffer more effective solutions to health
challenges. Taking various diseases into consideration, we will
discuss how Satellite Communication as an intervention means
can be used for disease prediction and timely prevention. This
chapter concludes that integrating Satellite Communication as an approach to achieving the laid out 7-point Agenda is the
best way forward to actualizing the AU’s Agenda in record
time.
