A Brief History of the GDHF
The Global Digital Health Forum has been a leading platform for discussing and advancing digital health solutions since its inception. Previously hosted in Washington, D.C., the forum has consistently attracted top-tier experts to delve into the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in the field.
By expanding its reach to Africa, the GDHF 2024 underscores the growing significance of the continent in the global health arena.
The forum features diverse and engaging sessions to connect government stakeholders, digital health developers, researchers, donors, implementers and field experts from across the globe. It also features panel presentations, hands-on workshops, poster presentations, lightning talks, and facilitated expert round-table discussions.
Our Call to Action!
During #GDHF2024, we will call upon governments, donors, and partners to adopt policies and invest in equitable, long-term digital health solutions that unleash the power of community health workers (CHWs). By equipping CHWs with digital tools, we can improve healthcare access, reduce child mortality, and build resilient, sustainable health systems in remote and low-resource settings.
