Strengthened country capacity in data and innovation
Advancing WHO's leadership in data, innovation, and evidence-based standards to drive progress towards Sustainable Development Goals and effectively respond to health emergencies.
Advancing WHO’s leadership in data and innovation is critical to the Secretariat’s work. WHO serves as the custodian for health-related Sustainable Development Goals. WHO norms and standards are founded upon cutting-edge scientific research, rigorous data and statistics and a strong evidence-base, and are pivotal to the Organization’s work to accelerate the achievement of the GPW13 triple billion targets.
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the important role of science and data in responding to health emergencies, supporting the rapid formulation and implementation of evidence-based, coherent guidance and real-time monitoring of the pandemic response.
Innovations such as digital health technologies have the potential to accelerate progress toward healthier societies and close inequality gaps. They can facilitate generation of big data to advance research, diagnostics, disease prevention and personalized health services.
