Title: Achieving Health for All through Digital Collaboration
Date: Oct. 26, 2020, CET: 09:00 AM - 10:30 AM / UTC: 08:00 AM - 09:30 AM
Digital technologies are revolutionizing healthcare and provide unprecedented opportunities to improve health and wellbeing worldwide, transform economies, and stimulate growth. For the first time in history, we have new tools to solve health system problems and create an equitable global health future.
If we are to realize the benefits of digital transformation in health care, it will take a global collaboration among Governments, Development Partners and Donors, the Private Sector, Civil Societies, Academics, and NGOs.
The purpose of this event is to engage the multi-stakeholder digital community to contribute to the prioritization, adoption and acceleration of digital health technologies and create a strong and sustainable partnership model for digital health as we encourage key stakeholders to invest in the global digital health ecosystem.
