Transforming Global Health by Improving the Science of Scale-Up

Subjects: Packaging, People, Policies
Countries: Global

In its report Global Health 2035, the Commission on Investing in Health proposed that health investments can reduce mortality in nearly all low- and middle-income countries to very low levels, thereby averting 10 million deaths per year from 2035 onward. Many of these gains could be achieved through scale-up of existing technologies and health services.

PATH

Subjects: Applications, eHealth, Packaging, Policies, Products

The digital health community is on a journey to deliver health impact. We have achieved considerable success in the past decade, demonstrating that information and communication technology can improve health services delivery in the developing world. Although our achievements implementing pilots should be celebrated, we must also acknowledge that digital health interventions are not yet routinely used as part of all global health service delivery and have not yet been proven to demonstrate large scale health impact. This paper describes a journey toward successful scale in digital health interventions.
