The digital transformation of health systems has the potential to improve access, quality
and efficiency of health care on an unprecedented scale, and accelerate progress towards Universal Health Coverage.
It is therefore critical for national governments to allocate necessary funding to digitally enable their health
systems as part of wider health system strengthening investment, and to ensure that this is part of their national
plans and priorities. While some countries are able to mobilise the necessary funding domestically, others require
additional support through international funding.

 

One of Transform Health’s three key objectives is advocating for increased and better coordinated domestic and international financial investments to support the equitable, inclusive, and sustainable digital transformation of health systems in low and middle income countries.

 

Digital Health Investment Checklist

Key considerations for more equitable and accountable investment to advance Universal Health Coverage

The Digital Health Investment (DHI) Checklist is a set of questions to consider when designing and making investment decisions, to help ensure these are equitable, sustainable, and support the goal of universal health coverage (UHC). The DHI Checklist emphasises the need for investments to take a person-centred approach to ensure that digital health investments are grounded in equity and human rights, respond to community needs.

Taking forward the recommendations in 'Closing The Digital Divide'

Following the publication of Closing the digital divide, Transform Health partners have been working closely with the WHO and Indian presidency of the G20 to increase the availability of information on digital health investments. This has included inputting into the development of a Global Initiative on Digital Health (GIDH). Transform Health is organising a series of multi-stakeholder consultations to ensure that the perspectives of different groups are reflected in this work.
