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 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 of action 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.
Digital Health Week 2025 builds on the success of previous weeks while evolving into a more focused and outcomes-driven initiative. It will feature decentralised, partner-led activities framed under a shared global theme, while anchoring specific consultations that inform and validate Transform Health’s flagship advocacy initiative, the Roadmap to 2030: Health for All in the Digital Age.
Digital Health Week 2025 will serve as both a global space for collective engagement of organisations involved and interested in digital health, universal health coverage, and others interested in ensuring an enabling environment for digital health to accelerate UHC. It will be a space where the perspectives of youth and marginalised communities can be voiced at the global level. DHW 2025 will also be a space that Transform Health will use for a strategic consultation on the Roadmap to 2030. DHW will bring together governments, civil society, youth, private sector actors, and development partners to spotlight the future of digital health and shape the policy agenda for the decade ahead.
The week runs from 3-9 November 2025
