#digitalhealth #digital @WHO @DrTedros @MEASURE_Eval @WHOWPRO @CHIP_UNC @ENABLE_UNC @WHOEMRO Digital health is key to achieving UHC & SDG goals. But demands innovative, scalable, and contextual digital health capacity building efforts.

Reaching out to people and communities is critical for global health ; hence comes the instrumentality of digital technologies.

Future of health can not be digital unless all the basic primary health problems of every socio-economic class have been adressed. We can’t continue to only focus on the upper class. Let’s prioritize low income families and marginalized minorities. Health is not a commodity.

@PATHtweets is proud to partner with the @WHO on leveraging digital health in national and community health systems across the globe!

@DrTedros Patient participation is important to data input as well as a shift with medical professionals being against patients collecting data and information to manage their health. The age of cyberchondriacs must become the age of ePatients. We should all be equal stakeholders

I agree. Tech can do so much admin and data collection that health professionals can be freed up to focus on helping their patients.
