NEW POLICY BRIEF: Establishing Gender-Equitable Foundations for Digital Health Transformation - to Advance Universal Health Coverage
Dear GDHN, Transform Health is excited to announce the launch of our new policy brief, , which makes the case for investment and action to establish the foundations and guardrails for a gender equitable digital health ecosystem. The policy brief explores the opportunity of digital health, if effectively designed, to improve gender equity and the health outcomes of women and girls. It also delves into key challenges hindering this, including around digital access, digital use, and root causes of these at population level and systems level. Finally, it sets out recommendations for building a gender-equitable digital health ecosystem to advance universal health coverage, with a call to action for decision makers and all stakeholders to: 1) mainstream gender in digital health; 2) invest in people; and 3) strengthen regulation and legislation to protect women’s and girls’ rights. We look forward to forging enhanced collaboration with our partners as we continue to advocate for the equitable digital transformation of health systems, and the critical role that gender plays as part of this. Please reach out if you would like to learn more about this work and to explore how we can collaborate. Kind regards, Kirsten
