Global StrategyInternational

Summary

Updates WHO’s global framework for coordinated, people-centred, and interoperable digital-health systems through 2027, connecting national governance, investment, capacity, infrastructure, and responsible use of emerging technologies.

Healthcare Implications

Member States and health systems should place AI within broader digital-health governance, workforce, interoperability, data-protection, safety, equity, and monitoring plans rather than treating AI as an isolated technology program.
