Implement DH:PNS

If you are a national Ministry of Health, NGO working in the digital or public health space, or funder, we welcome you to learn more about how you can bring DH:PNS to your organization or cohort. There are three main ways to implement the course:

While Dr. Hassan had practical knowledge of a number of the digital health course concepts prior to enrolling in the course, he describes his knowledge at the time as “fragmented”. This course helped him understand these concepts more holistically, realize his authority to adopt Global Goods, and confirm the importance of business process mapping among other concepts in digital health.

“It was the most enjoyable session of my life.”

Powerful Impact

DH:PNS boasts a completion metric of nearly 70%—that is, 70% of participants who enroll in the course successfully finish all ten modules. The benchmark for average online course completion is 4%.

And graduates put what they’ve learned into practice. More than 50 countries’ digital health systems have been impacted by the participation of national planners in this course, 90% of whom reported that the course filled a critical knowledge and skill gap for them.

The course has been consistently highly reviewed by participants, including those with differing levels of digital literacy and connectivity. A TechChange survey found that one hundred percent of participants reported learning objectives were achieved, and this is corroborated by pre and post- course assessments showing that participant knowledge and self-efficacy in key digital health concepts increased dramatically.
