A well-functioning health information system plays a transformative role in supporting strategic management decisions for the health sector in low and middle-income countries.
However, the limited capacity to collect, analyze and use health data for decision making by many country governments continues to impede the broader health system. These challenges are magnified when health information systems do exist, but are not interoperable, and create inefficient duplication of efforts.
Join us at the Global Digital Health Forum for more funding insights!
The problems continue when there is a lack of local capacity building that can educate and motivate the next generation of health information system leaders.
