Turning fragmented digital health into coordinated national systems.
The world's most comprehensive course for the Ministry of Health officials who plan digital health at national scale. Free, open-source, and delivered in four languages.
Great technology, uncoordinated systems.
Digital health investment is at an all-time high. But too often the tools arrive as siloed pilots... donor-driven, duplicated, and hard to sustain. The gap is rarely the technology. It's the planning, and the local capacity to lead it.
Digital Health: Planning National Systems equips Ministry of Health officials to turn scattered initiatives into coordinated, country-owned systems, using WHO and ITU frameworks, real case studies, and a peer network that outlasts the course.
"It gave me the skills and knowledge I needed to strategically support the development and finalization of Lao PDR's five-year digital health national strategy, using an enterprise planning approach."
Proof that the investment works.
Across 33 deliveries since 2020, DH:PNS holds a completion rate five times the industry average for online courses, and 90% of participants say it filled a critical skills gap.
115 countries. Every WHO region.
Graduates now span 115 countries across all six WHO regions, from ministries of health to multilateral partners. Each country is shaded by the number of graduates it has produced.

The measure of the course isn't the certificate. It's what happens back on the job.
Influencing policy
"I was able to convince the ministry of the need to have all the systems linked up and speaking to each other, with interoperability and a networking group."
Public health officer, Ministry of Health, Maldives
Revising national strategy
"Now we're taking a more systematic approach. We're revising and synchronizing our digital health roadmap, and we added more to the eHealth strategy."
MOH official, Philippines
Accelerating partners
"The course has been a great way to accelerate the conversation, so the World Bank starts to propose the enterprise planning approach with country counterparts."
Digital health officer, World Bank Group
