ACROSS THE WORLD AND ONLINE

3-9 NOVEMBER 2025​

Digital Health Week is a global week of action that brings together politicians, civil society, the private sector and citizens to explore the opportunities and challenges of digital health. This week-long initiative aims to highlight the critical role of digital health in achieving Universal Health Coverage and produce learnings that can steer future discussion on the issue. 

Now in its fourth year, Digital Health Week is an open space where organisations and participants can take action, run events and collaborative activities and share their own perspectives, innovative solutions, and practical experiences. The week runs from 4-10 November 2024.

What is Digital Health Week?

Digital Health Week 2025 (DHW 2025) is a global space for collective engagement on the future of digital health and Universal Health Coverage (UHC).

It brings together governments, civil society, youth, private sector actors, and development partners to spotlight priorities, share perspectives, and shape the digital health agenda for the decade ahead.

DHW is open and decentralised: organisations anywhere in the world can host events that reflect their priorities, while connecting to a shared global theme. The week is also a platform to elevate the perspectives of youth and marginalised communities at the global level.

By taking part in Digital Health Week 2025, your organisation will:

  • Be part of a decentralised global movement shaping digital health to 2030
  • Spotlight your work and perspectives to an international audience
  • Contribute directly to shaping the Roadmap to 2030
  • Amplify youth, civil society, and equity-driven voices in global health

With your participation, Digital Health Week 2025 will bring together diverse voices, strengthen global collaboration, and ensure digital transformation in health works for equity, sustainability, and people.

THEMES OF THE WEEK

This year Digital Health Week is being conducted under a shared vision of ‘The Future of Digital Health to 2030’. We will explore several sub-themes under this overarching umbrella – giving partners the flexibility to focus on priorities that matter most in their context.

Equity and Inclusion

Equity and Inclusion
Digital health must reach everyone. Closing gaps in access, tackling the gender digital divide, and centring the needs of youth, women, people with disabilities, and marginalised groups ensures no one is left behind in the digital age.

Trust and Responsible Data Use

Trust and Data Protection
Building trust starts with strong data governance. Clear laws, rights, and safeguards protect people while enabling innovation. Responsible data use makes digital health systems more accountable, fair, and sustainable.

AI and Emerging Tech

AI and Emerging Tech
AI and frontier technologies bring opportunities to transform care, from early detection to resource allocation. To harness these benefits responsibly, countries need strong foundations that protect rights, ensure ethical use, and adapt to local contexts.

Financing and Investment

Financing and Investment
Digital transformation needs sustainable investment. Countries are exploring innovative models, like debt-for-health swaps, digital taxes, and insurance, to reduce reliance on aid and mobilise domestic resources for stronger, more resilient health systems.

Policy and Governance

Policy and Governance
Strong governance and inclusive policies anchor digital health. From national strategies to clear interoperability standards, effective regulation ensures systems are integrated, equitable, and aligned with universal health coverage goals.

During Digital Health Week, consultations will gather insights from diverse stakeholders such as governments, civil society, youth, and communities to help guide the Roadmap to 2030

This global effort will define the actions and milestones needed to make digital health inclusive, equitable, and effective for all.
