May 23, 2025
Founder and CEO of Margins ID Group Moses Baiden will spotlight the revolutionary impact of the Ghana Card on healthcare delivery at the 2025 ID4Africa Annual General Meeting (AGM).
The event begins tomorrow, Tuesday, May 20, and runs through Friday, May 23
Mr. Baiden’s keynote address is scheduled for Day Two of the AGM and will be available via livestream for remote participants.
Mr. Baiden, a digital identity champion, will deliver a highly anticipated keynote address titled “Unlocking the Power of Digital Identity: The Ghana Card’s Impact on Healthcare.”
The presentation will focus on how Ghana’s robust national identity system is transforming healthcare access and service delivery, while offering replicable lessons for the rest of Africa.
Digital identity as a pillar of inclusive healthcare
In a preview of his presentation, Mr. Baiden described the Ghana Card not merely as a form of identification, but as a revolutionary enabler of national development—particularly in the health sector.
“The Ghana Card is not just a piece of identification—it’s a game-changer for healthcare delivery,” said Mr. Baiden.
“This is about putting identity at the centre of development, ensuring every citizen has access to essential services with dignity and efficiency.”
Mr. Baiden’s keynote address will delve into how the Ghana Card has been integrated into the national healthcare infrastructure, streamlining patient verification, eliminating fraud, and enhancing service delivery through real-time data interoperability.
The session is expected to provide attendees with practical insights into how legal identity can be leveraged to boost efficiency, accountability, and inclusion in health systems.
A Platform for pan-African identity innovation
The ID4Africa AGM is the continent’s leading identity event, drawing more than 2,000 stakeholders from over 100 countries, including representatives from 50+ African governments.
It serves as a melting pot for technology innovators, policymakers, civil society actors, and development agencies, all committed to building trusted digital identity ecosystems.
Held this year under the theme “Digital Identity at Scale: Building Trust, Maximizing Impact,” the gathering aims to accelerate Africa’s digital transformation by promoting citizen-centric solutions that enhance governance, security, and service delivery.
Mr. Baiden’s address is among the headline sessions of the summit and is expected to further position Ghana as a trailblazer in digital identity development.
His remarks will also reflect on how robust ID systems can support inclusive policies and sustainable development, particularly in the critical sectors of health, financial services, and mobility.
The Executive Director for Software Development and Systems Integration at Margins ID Group Mr. Andrew Asamoah, will also participate in a panel discussion on scaling digital transformation projects into ecosystems.
Ghana’s model for the continent
Ghana’s digital ID journey, led by the National Identification Authority and powered by the Ghana Card, has gained continental and global attention for its bold scope and technological sophistication.
The system’s integration with health services—including the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), health records, and biometric verification—has significantly reduced identity-related inefficiencies and healthcare fraud.
Margins ID Group, under Mr. Baiden’s leadership, has been instrumental in the design, production, and rollout of the Ghana Card and its ecosystem.
His appearance at ID4Africa reinforces the country’s growing influence in the global conversation on digital identity as a development tool.
Growing continental interest in legal identity systems
Across Africa, governments and development partners are increasingly recognizing the value of trusted digital ID systems for unlocking socio-economic benefits.
Health, financial services, and mobility remain key sectors driving demand for secure, interoperable identity frameworks.
The ID4Africa AGM will showcase successful implementations, foster policy dialogue, and offer unmatched networking opportunities.
With a swelling interest in health-focused identity use cases, Ghana’s example—anchored by the Ghana Card—is expected to resonate powerfully.
Participants are urged to secure their places at this pivotal conference as it promises cutting-edge insights, partnerships, and strategies for building Africa’s digital future.
