The Digital Health Collaborative

About the Collaborative – This activity is currently active

The Digital Health Collaborative was launched in November 2023 to address the growing need for efficient and affordable healthcare services through digital integration.

The Collaborative aims to facilitate knowledge sharing among practitioners on the successful integration of digital technology and data into healthcare systems. It will serve as a hub for experience-based knowledge exchange across member countries. The Collaborative will focus on interoperability, private sector solutions, advocating for digital health, and digital health governance as determined by the member countries during the launch meeting.

Outputs from the Collaborative will include webinars, and co-created knowledge products including a guide on interoperability, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) agent-enabled annotated inventory of resources, a how-to toolkit for digital health governance, a guide on private sector solutions, and a dialogue toolkit.
