Regional & Country Systems

Governments are leading digital transformation of health care systems at regional, national, and sub-national levels. Long-term sustainability requires new skillsets within health systems, which requires countries to reinforce both technical and operational capacity.

Digital Square helps elevate country priorities and strengthen regional and national capacity.
