UHC2030 together with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the Digital Transformations for Health Lab (DTH-Lab) are mobilising support to harness the potential of the digital transformation of health in the journey towards achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
With Digital Health Week wrapping up, we must build on the momentum and convening power witnessed by actors in the digital health ecosystem in harnessing the potential of digital health technologies in moving towards Health for All.
DTH-Lab is supporting a UHC2030 strategic narrative that aims to guide advocacy and action on digital health accelerating progress towards UHC.
Read our joint Op-ed on how we can leverage an inclusive and equitable digital transformation of health that leaves no one behind in pursuit of universal health coverage.

Digital transformations are shaping all aspects of our lives, including health. Digital innovations can help to improve young people’s health and well-being and achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) through their application in health systems, public health promotion and prevention, and personal self-management of health status and behaviours. Without good governance, digital transformations can undermine health and exacerbate inequality. As levels of connectivity increase, concerted efforts are required to ensure that digital technologies are harnessed in support of better health and well-being for all and the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.
The DTH-Lab is a global consortium of partners working to drive implementation of The Lancet and Financial Times Commission on Governing Health Futures 2030’s recommendations for value-based digital transformations for health co-created with young people.
