Digital Health & Care Macedonia and their mission to promote the biopsychosocial health and well-being of all citizens

Learn more about the newest member to join our global community: Digital Health & Care Macedonia. Their mission is to promote the biopsychosocial health and well-being of all citizens through implementation of digital health solutions, by using person-centered, holistic and salutogenic approaches.

The National association for digitalisation of health and care – Digital Health and Care Macedonia was founded in November 2022 as a non-profit, non-governmental organisation in Resen, Republic of Macedonia. The initiative was inspired by the crumbling public healthcare system, diminishing of the public healthcare services, and excessive migration of healthcare professionals due to poor working conditions, to other countries or transiting to the private healthcare sector. Therefore, an enormous gap to fill is present in order to advance the health of individuals and their communities. Digital health solutions, as a powerful tool in combating inequities in healthcare services delivery and accessibility as a basic human right, hold the potential to partially solve the current problem with the aim to facilitate access and timeliness in the delivery of services to (underserved) communities, with emphasis on those with limited supply and/or access to services due to location.

Our mission is to promote the biopsychosocial health and well-being of all citizens through implementation of digital health solutions, by using person-centered, holistic and salutogenic approaches supported by multi sectoral activities and cooperation between responsible bodies and institutions. As the first organization of its kind in the country, DHCMK will lead the digitalisation of health and social care by identifying system’s deficiencies and undertaking activities in the appropriate domains for their optimization. 

We hope that through the ECHAlliance community we could gain potential partners for future projects and therefore create meaningful network, as well as exchange experiences and knowledge that could be potentially deployed within the context of our scope of work.
