Transform Health: Digital Health Week

This month, I’m proud to spotlight Transform Health Coalition and the Digital Health Week. Together with PMNCH partners such as Fondation Botnar, PATH, BRAC, Medicus Mundi, JHPiego, Terre des hommes and others, PMNCH is a proud founding member of Transform Health, a coalition of organizations, individuals and institutions committed to achieving Universal Health Coverage through the use of digital technologies and data.. We are committed to promoting the perspectives and leadership of youth, women and marginalized groups in all aspects of our work for equitable and affordable access to high-quality healthcare.

Transform Health is supporting the launch of the first Digital Health Week at a global scale which will take place from 29 November until 03 December 2021 and focus on how digital technology and the use of data can help governments, in collaboration with professional bodies, the private sector, civil society, community groups and others, achieve universal healthcare. Designed to be an annual event, organizations from around the world will come together at national and regional levels to develop collaborative solutions to advance the adoption of digital health technologies by governments. 

Digital Health Week (DHW) launches during UNGA (14-30 Sept.) with a website including resources, social media material and fact sheets to enable organizations to conduct digital health advocacy.  Organizations can sign up to submit commitments (technical, financial, programmatic, advocacy etc.) to enable the digital transformation of health in their contexts, and events they are hosting or initiatives they are promoting during the week

Participating in Digital Health Week is an opportunity to have your organization’s advocacy, launches and events made visible in this global moment alongside hundreds of allied organizations.  For more information, click here.  If you’re interested in getting involved, fill this form, or email dhw@transformheatlhcoalition.org with your interest!
