NAAMII Concludes WHO SEARO Consultation on Global Strategy on Digital Health

NAAMII successfully convened the WHO South-East Asia Region (SEARO) Multi-Stakeholder Consultation Webinar on March 31st, bringing together the experience of 80+ diverse stakeholders across countries and institutions to contribute to shaping the next Global Strategy on Digital Health (2028–2033).

The consultation surfaced key gaps and implementation challenges from the previous Global Health Strategy (2020-2027) and translated them into actionable priorities for building equitable and interoperable digital health systems.

Key focus areas included:

- Governance, leadership, and equity
- Digital public infrastructure (DPI), interoperability, and data systems
- Workforce capacity and competencies
- Sustainable financing, partnerships, and ecosystem enablement

The insights generated through breakout dialogues will now feed into WHO’s global strategy process and inform a consolidated regional synthesis report.

We thank all participants for their valuable contributions, and acknowledge the leadership of Dr. Bishesh Khanal, Dr. Karthik Adapa, Paban Ghimire, Sonam Yangchen, and Dr. Kiran Raj Pandey, and World Health Organization South-East Asia team. Special thanks to Ranjana Koirala for leading the organization and ex*****on of the consultation.
