Support DH:PNS

Transform the digital health ecosystem

Systems-level change starts with people. Better health outcomes in low- to middle- income countries are possible when national planners have the skills, resources, and networks they need to positively impact national health infrastructure. Digital Health: Planning National Systems is the solution to equip the right people, with the right skills, to make a real difference where it matters most.

“The enterprise planning approach presented in the course would be very useful for the future development of our health information system and will ultimately, provide better interoperability and scalability of the system.”

Impact statistics

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

And they put what they’ve learned into practice. More than fifty countries’ digital health systems have been impacted by the participation of national planners in this course, ninety percent 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 one hundred percent of participants reported learning objectives were achieved, and this is corroborated by pre and post- course assessments that showed that participant knowledge and self-efficacy in key digital health concepts increased dramatically.
