Join the World Health Organization (WHO) for a 90-minute technical webinar dedicated to shaping the successor Global Strategy on Digital Health (2028–2033). Following the endorsement of the Seventy-eighth World Health Assembly (WHA78.22), this session marks a critical milestone in a Member State-driven process to define the future of data, digital health, and AI.
This consultation will gather structured inputs to ensure the next strategy reflects diverse global needs, addresses persistent obstacles like fragmentation and limited interoperability, and aligns with broader digital cooperation processes such as the WSIS Action Line 7 on eHealth and the Global Digital Compact.
Objectives
- Present the global mandate, timeline and consultation process for developing the Global Strategy on Digital Health (2028–2033);
- Reflect on the progress and lessons learned from the implementation of the Global Strategy on Digital Health (2020–2025) and its extension to 2027;
- Facilitate dialogue on priorities, gaps and opportunities for a standards-based digital transformation of health systems;
- Capture perspectives and recommendations to inform the drafting of the 2028–2033 strategy;
