| Summary: | The advancement of technology and the
exponential growth of data are providing the opportunity to
Low Income Countries and Lower Middle-Income Countries to
leapfrog and improve quality of care, decision making, the
efficient use of resources, while reducing costs and burden
of diseases. Recognizing the promise and potential of
digital systems, technologies, and data to support the
redesign of PHC and solve pernicious healthcare challenges
in countries, digital health assessments intend to be an
input and the first step towards the digital journey and to
plan and prioritize what a country's health system of
the future would look like. As expressed in the WHO’s Global
Digital Health Strategy, approved by WHO member states in
2021, ‘Digital health should be an integral part of health
priorities and benefit people in a way that is ethical,
safe, secure, reliable, equitable and sustainable. It should
be developed with principles of transparency, accessibility,
scalability, replicability, interoperability, privacy,
security and confidentiality.’ |
