The Global Health Connector Partnership connects global health communities targeting health inequalities, skills and data

The worldwide delivery of health and care has become increasingly challenging over recent years.

The COVID-19 pandemic has magnified demand and capacity issues and contributed to the ever-rising costs of health and care delivery. We are in need of changes: optimally planned services and robust and innovation-driven systems.

The Global Health Connector reflects a determined commitment of existing organisations to improve health and care for citizens worldwide through the appropriate use of digital technologies in the provision of health and care services.

Participating organisations of the Global Health Connector Partnership will be able to pursue solutions to shared problems and discover areas of work via aligned strategic goals for further cost efficiency, reduced risk, and less effort.

Each of our organisations have their own missions and priorities, but will find commonality through the global vision upheld by the Global Health Connector Partnership.

Our organisations have worked together for the last 12 months, and we are now ready to welcome the next phase of this journey.

Global Health Connector Leadership Award

The Global Health Connector Partnership Leadership award has been instituted to recognize individuals, organizations and governments for their outstanding leadership in Digital Health. This is a unique award and is not given but earned by making an exceptional contribution to Digital Health.

The vision behind the award is to recognize the leadership and pioneering role in policy, program or implementation of Digital Health. We believe that by recognizing the individuals, organizations and the governments, we will motivate others to follow these ‘Role Models’ in implementing digital health.
