The UN’s Internet Governance Forum (IGF) serves to bring people together from various stakeholder groups as equals, in discussions on public policy issues relating to the Internet. While there is no negotiated outcome, the IGF informs and inspires those with policy-making power in both the public and private sectors.  At their annual meeting delegates discuss, exchange information, and share good practices with each other. The IGF facilitates a common understanding of how to maximize Internet opportunities and address risks and challenges that arise. 

In the resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly on 16 December 2015, (70/125) 'Outcome document of the high-level meeting of the General Assembly on the overall review of the implementation of the outcomes of the World Summit on the Information Society', the existing mandate of the IGF as set out in paragraphs 72 to 78 of the Tunis Agenda was extended for another 10 years.  

As the chair of the Dynamic Coalition on Digital Health, I request you consider joining this global coalition at the UN’s IGF. Let us transform healthcare through Digital Health.  

Goals:
  • Galvanize stakeholders from across the globe in digital health through this dynamic coalition on a single platform.
  • Engage global stakeholders and grassroots organizations to address the critical issues for the success of digital health across developed, developing, and underdeveloped economies.
  • Showcase the implementers at the annual IGF and disseminate the information needed to boost the adoption of digital health.
  • Work together with clinicians and allied health professionals besides the healthcare managers across the private and public sectors to boost the adoption of digital health. 
Action plan:
  • Come out with a yearly report on the ‘State of Digital Health’ highlighting achievements, best practices, and the need gap to boost the adoption of digital health at scale. 
  • Organize online and offline workshops across regions on how local communities can leverage the Internet for digital health. 
  • Organize a global meeting annually on a rotation basis.  
  • Showcase real-life stories and brainstorm ideas and innovations at regional IGF and annual IGF meetings. 
  • Come out with white papers and knowledge papers across the regions and sectors in digital health, and work with other DCs to achieve our objectives. 
There is no fees to joining UN’s IGF and it is a great global platform to discuss and share knowledge and grow the ecosystem of Digital Health.
