What does meaningful solidarity, not saviorism, look like? Right now, the 'locally led, globally supported' model in development and humanitarian aid is being put to the test. Our Director of External Affairs Jeffrey Jacobs, MPH will be co-leading this #SkollWF sidebar event exploring what local organizations truly need and want from the global community today. Are you ready to co-create a new model of global solidarity that centers on justice, autonomy, and mutual accountability?

Au cours des dernières semaines, j'ai eu l'opportunité de voyager en C?te d'Ivoire avec mon équipe #Medic et nos partenaires pour rencontrer les agents de santé communautaires et les agents encadrants. De Adzopé à Guitry en passant par Gagnoa, nous avons pu constater, au-delà de la richesse culturelle et environnementale de ce magnifique pays, l'impact significatif du CHT sur le travail des acteurs communautaires. En soutenant le déploiement de l'application basée sur le CHT, notre objectif est de renforcer le système de santé communautaire en C?te d'Ivoire. Les résultats, appréciations et anecdotes recueillis sur le terrain sont inspirants et très encourageants. Nous sommes ravis de constater une très bonne acceptabilité et utilisation du CHT dans 16 districts. L'un des agents de santé communautaires nous a confié que : ? Le CHT est là pour guider l'ASC dans ses activités et la planification des taches. Il veille au respect des directives, des protocoles et assure une cohérence entre les activités menées et celles rapportées par les ASC ?. Un des agents encadrants s'est réjoui de l'approche de la supervision dédiée en affirmant que ? la supervision renforcée est une initiative bienvenue. Avec le CHT, nous avons pu améliorer les conditions de travail dans le cadre des activités communautaires et nous rapprocher encore davantage des populations locales ?. Le CHT illustre parfaitement le pouvoir des technologies numériques dans le domaine de la santé communautaire. Grace à des outils adaptés aux réalités et aux protocoles des pays, les processus sont optimisés, les activités des agents sont mieux organisées et les populations bénéficient d'un accès accru à des soins cohérents et de qualité. Le CHT ne se contente donc pas d'améliorer la gestion quotidienne ; il crée aussi des ponts entre les professionnels de santé et les communautés, en renfor?ant cette proximité indispensable à un impact durable. Si vous avez envie de mieux connaitre sur le #CHT, rejoignez notre forum Communautaire où les concepteurs, les développeurs, les gestionnaires de programmes et les innovateurs peuvent partager leurs connaissances, fournir une assistance technique à d’autres utilisateurs et explorer de nouvelles opportunités d’apprentissage et de collaboration.?Il présente des mises à jour de produits et des feuilles de route, des discussions sur les ressources incluses dans le CHT, et plus encore. Nous vous invitons à créer un compte et à vous présenter! https://lnkd.in/erddkFKq

What does ending tuberculosis look like? It means early detection, diagnosis, preventive treatment, and high-quality TB care. And digital health apps have a critical role to play in powering up the community health workers (CHWs) who perform these vital interventions. In 2024, Medic helped integrate TB workflows into Uganda’s electronic Community Health Information System (eCHIS), paving the way for the introduction of #ReimaginingTBCare — an initiative from Walimu and Ministry of Health - Uganda. It builds on eCHIS to address gaps in TB service delivery and build up CHWs’ capacity to sensitize, screen, test, and link people with TB to care. Together, we are championing community leadership, civil society action, and cross-sector collaboration. Together, we can end TB. #YesWeCanEndTB #WorldTBDay #GlobalHealth #Innovation #DigitalHealth

"Interoperability first, or risk cemeteries of systems." Love these powerful words from Plinschi Catalina and this fantastic recap of The World Bank Global Digital Summit from Rodrigo Gramajo Rodriguez. This is why Medic and the CHT Community have put so much effort into designing community health apps that connect with the broader digital health ecosystem. By enabling different health systems and applications to communicate with each other, interoperability has the power to improve care coordination and delivery, and even reduce medical errors. ??

GDS 2025 | Day 2 The second day of The World Bank Global Digital Summit 2025 was just as inspiring, informative, and reflection-provoking as Day 1. So much energy, critical insight, and hard truths about what it takes to build inclusive, resilient, people-centered digital systems. Digital Government: Transforming Service Delivery at Scale One of my favorite sessions of the entire event. Panelists explored how governments and the private sector can leverage Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) to revolutionize public service delivery and drive inclusion. ?? DPI has the power to unlock opportunities for billions—making the invisible visible. ?? The conversation emphasized open systems, interoperability, and the modular “building blocks” needed to scale. ?? “Interoperability first, or risk cemeteries of systems.” – wise words from Moldova’s State Secretary for Digital, Plinschi Catalina. They’re taking a “digital by default” approach, not just “digital by demand.” ?? Connectivity is foundational. As Max Cuvellier Giacomelli, from GSMA reminded us: “Without connectivity, there is no DPI.” ?? He also emphasized DPI’s transformative potential in agriculture—where climate resilience, gender equity, and financial inclusion intersect. ?? In the Philippines, Rene Mendoza, from the Statistics Authority, spoke about PhilSys, the country’s national digital ID. → National ID and DPI are key to expanding service access. But they require a solid legal foundation, robust data privacy and cybersecurity, and widespread public awareness to build trust. → Authentication depends on connectivity, which is still a challenge in underserved areas. Tackling the Digital Divide: Creating More Opportunities for Women Brilliantly moderated by Lauren Wall, and opened with a inspiring personal story by Soumya Tejam, who shared a powerful piece of advice from her mentor: ?? “The computer doesn’t know you’re a girl. The code doesn’t know where you’re from ...” ?? She spoke about empowering women and underrepresented communities in tech. ?? From another panelist: “Let’s stop retrofitting the evidence to create a good narrative around digital solutions. Are we really delivering positive outcomes for the end user?” ?? I was also introduced to PPP 2.0—Private, Public, and People. ?? The economic case is clear: if we fail to include women in the digital economy, we risk losing $500 billion over the next few decades. ?? This isn’t just about technology—it’s about norms. AI might be new, but exclusion isn’t. ? Final reflections from Day 2 → Try the tech. If we want to shape the future of AI governance, we need to engage with it ourselves. → Resilience must be built into the design—through infrastructure, capacity, and governance. → Cybersecurity, resilient systems, and confidentiality are not optional—they are the backbone of trustworthy systems. #GlobalDigitalSummit #WorldBank #DigitalInclusion #DPI #AIforDevelopment #ResponsibleAI #FrugalAI #DigitalTransformation

The latest World Health Organization findings in The Lancet Group reveal that haemorrhage and hypertensive disorders are the leading causes of maternal deaths globally, often due to undetected or untreated conditions. Most of these deaths happen during or shortly after childbirth—showing just how important it is that mothers have access to good antenatal and postnatal services. Digital health solutions like the Community Health Toolkit (CHT) help community health workers care for mothers during this critical window. By equipping CHWs with decision support and follow-up reminders, the CHT supports them to manage pregnancy-related complications—contributing to safer outcomes for mothers and babies globally.

Women like Maureen Wauda are propping up the global health system. Community health workers (CHWs) are the first level of critical healthcare that a lot of the world’s population will ever receive—but many are underpaid, or not paid at all. Paying six million women CHWs what they're worth would turbocharge progress towards gender equality and health for all. This International Women’s Day, we must make professional CHWs the norm.
