The World Health Organization (WHO) Resolution on Digital Health that passed in May 2018 championed countries�� embrace of the rapid adoption of technology to strengthen health systems and achieve universal health coverage (UHC).To do so, countries require appropriately designed and scalable digital health solutions, supportive policies, regulatory environment and infrastructure, increased opportunities for financing, and sustainable local capacity. While every country��s digital health ecosystem is unique, each rests on the same underlying components. Currently, most countries do not ave the enablers in place to maximize the benefits of digital health to improve health outcomes and health systems. The lack of visibility or roadmap towards the maturity of digital health has led to persistent fragmentation and inefficiencies at the national and sub-national level, impeding countries from maximizing their investments in digital health.There is an opportunity to support countries to design and scale digital health solutions, develop supportive digital health policies, increase opportunities for financing, and build local capacity to sustainably implement digital health.
