Digital health is a key enabler for efficient and high-performing health systems. However, to harness this potential, national healthcare systems need a clear vision and an architected plan for how to achieve this vision and shape the digital transformation. It is essential that national governments establish the rules of engagement and the boundaries in which the technology sector, industry, and other private sector partners can interact.
