Themes — theme 05 of 05

Digital public infrastructure

Interoperable, open and publicly governed digital foundations that health systems can build on and share across sectors.

Why this theme

When systems are built in isolation, records cannot follow people between facilities, data has to be re-entered by hand, and each new programme starts from scratch. Common building blocks — identity, registries, secure data exchange — let health services connect to one another and to the wider systems governments already run.

This theme explores the standards, architecture, and safeguards that make this possible, who controls these shared systems, and how they can be maintained and held to account in the public interest.
