The enhancement of #digitalhealth has the potential to significantly improve the quality of #healthcare in #Africa by addressing various challenges and improving access to healthcare services. Digital health holds great promise for improving #healthcarequality, expanding access to essential services, and advancing progress towards #universalhealthcoverage (UHC) and #sustainabledevelopmentgoals. By leveraging #digitalhealthinnovations and investing in supportive policies, infrastructure, and capacity building, African countries can transform their healthcare systems and achieve better health outcomes for all.

The healthcare revolution we've been dreaming in Africa is attainable through innovative digital health solutions. Digital Health aims to provide convenient and affordable healthcare services to everyone while promoting inclusion and equality. To celebrate Digital Health Week 2023, I pledge to harness my creativity and entrepreneurial spirit to develop innovative solutions that enhance safety and security in my community and beyond. #DigitalHealth #DigitalHealthWeek2023 Digital Health Africa

📱 #DigitalHealth solutions are only as strong as the capabilities of the health workforce! Investment to support the digital enablement of healthcare workers to adapt to new technologies must be prioritised. 🗣️ Discover the insights from Hon. Irina Kutsenko, UNITE member from Ukraine 🤝 Parliamentarians can be key supporters of the health workforce to ensure this happens! 📚 Learn more about the role parliamentarians play in supporting #digitalhealth to achieve #UHC in this policy brief by Transform Health and UNITE Parliamentarians Network for Global Health: https://buff.ly/3whlbGE #HealthForAll #HealthDataGovernance #DigitalHealthInvestment #UHC2030

A very good statement about the tremendous expectations of the African population in terms of healthcare services and the challenges for the governments to give an adequate response. Our vision goes beyond the sole realization of infrastructures in a EPC approach, to offer as well a wide range of services to support the countries in the implementation of sustainable services to the population. This includes the development of nationwide E-Health solutions, capacity building and training. Also we understand the need to structure alternative financing models (PPP) to offer the right scheme to African countries struggling with their debt constraints.

The role of non-state providers in healthcare across South Asia is undeniable, with a significant portion of health services being delivered by private actors. A new article from Zubin Cyrus Shroff, Anas Ismail et al. highlights the critical need for policy-makers to strategically engage these providers to advance Primary Health Care (PHC) and achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) offer a potential pathway for this alignment, but their success hinges on government leadership. Policy-makers must focus on four key areas: 1️⃣ Clarity of goals: Ensuring alignment between PPP objectives and public health goals. 2️⃣ Capacity building: Strengthening government capabilities in contract management and regulation. 3️⃣ Evidence-based implementation: Investing in data systems and using evidence to guide PPP strategies. 4️⃣ Trust and relationships: Building and maintaining trust with non-state providers as strategic partners. This approach isn't without challenges, especially given the different motivations of public and private sectors. However, with transparent objectives and a commitment to continuous evaluation, governments can harness the strengths of non-state providers to ensure health remains a public good.

As a champion for digital transformation in healthcare, I believe we can harness digital health technologies to enhance access, improve outcomes, and revolutionize Africa's healthcare. While progress has been made, I recognize the persistent challenges in rural connectivity, digital literacy, and equitable access. At the African Digital Health Summit 2024, I look forward to collaborating with thought leaders, sharing insights, and co-creating solutions to maximize digital platforms, address healthcare disparities, and transform our healthcare system. #digitalgovernance #youthvoices #Digitalfirsthealthsystems #dthlab #DTHLabatADHS cc: Africa Digital Health Summit (ADHS) Digital Transformations for Health Lab EME Foundation
