The UNDP Digital Health for Development Hub serves as a one-stop shop, providing technical, advisory and partnership for the introduction and scale up of digital health solutions. The Hub’s primary aim is to assist countries to identify, adapt and scale up digital health solutions that advance health and well-being for all. The Hub exemplifies UNDP’s strategic focus on transformative drivers for sustainable development, in line with its Strategic Plan 2022–2025, Digital Strategy 2022–2025 and HIV and Health Strategy 2022–2025: Connecting the Dots – Towards a More Equitable, Healthier and Sustainable Future.
The Hub aims to strengthen health systems and pandemic preparedness and response while supporting effective and inclusive governance for digital health and addressing the inequalities that fuel disease and pandemics. The Hub promotes digital platforms and services that have a people-centred design, which incorporate inclusive and gender-sensitive approaches and safeguard human rights. The Hub fosters knowledge exchange, tracks emerging trends, and shares good practices and proven solutions.
