Abstract

Health campaigns are critical for delivering life-saving interventions across the world especially in Africa where routine health systems are still maturing. It takes months of planning, thousands of people, and billions of dollars to run campaigns. Campaign digitalization is being considered by countries to address some of these challenges but present realities make it clear that point solutions cannot do the job. While digital tools are brining about some efficiency, they are not doing enough- coverage still remains uncertain, and cost effectiveness is a major concern. It is becoming clear that Health campaigns need a holistic digital transformation.

This session on "Digital Transformation of Health Campaigns" will explore how DIGIT Health Campaign Management (HCM) takes the share learnings from the first exemplar in Mozambique where DIGIT HCM was used for a bednet campaign covering a population of 3 million people.
