Strengthening Gender, Equity and Rights in National Digital Health Strategies in Africa
Many countries are developing their first national digital health strategies––an exciting opportunity to leap towards modernizing healthcare, leveraging digital tools and the power of artificial intelligence for all. But: are officials thinking about how gender inequalities and unmet needs of other diverse groups might undermine digital access and inclusion?
We plan a series of online conversations with diverse voices– to think through the specific challenges and needs of diverse regions, and to spark a multidisciplinary dialogue on the integration of Gender, Equity, Rights, and Inclusion into the governance of digital health and AI for health. We plan three episodes, with the inaugural session focusing on the African region, where 38 of 47 Member States have now established national digital health strategies.
