PATH at the 2021 Global Digital Health Forum

Every year, the Global Digital Health Forum provides an opportunity for PATH and its partners to come together, share our work, and build a thriving community of digital health practitioners. This year, the Forum explores how digital technologies expand the reach of health services, improve the responsiveness of health systems, and accelerate our collective progress toward global health goals.

Sessions will provide a broad view of how COVID-19 has shifted our sector, ways the digital health community can better support frontline health workers, and why our work today has long-lasting implications for the future of health in the digital age.
