Digital Health:
Planning National Systems
The world’s most comprehensive Digital Health course for national planners
Digital health innovations have the potential to greatly improve care delivery and health outcomes all over the world. But too often these interventions are siloed and scattered, leading to fragmentation and a lack of coordination.
Digital Health: Planning National Systems gives national and regional planners the real-world skills, frameworks, and networks they need to coordinate digital health initiatives at scale.
Thanks to the generosity of our funders, all materials are available free and open source under Creative Commons licensing. It is now even considered a Content Global Good. DH:PNS is available in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese, as well as for self-paced online, synchronous, and blended instruction online and in-person.
