Why the DCCC?
Digital technology has the potential to expand access to healthcare.
The challenge
High out-of-pocket healthcare expenses
Almost 100 million people are being pushed to extreme poverty each year because of out-of-pocket healthcare expenses.
Barriers to accessing healthcare
Challenges include distance to healthcare facilities, shortage of skilled health workforce, aging populations, fragmentation in solutions and funding, and lack of digital tech/equipment.
Vulnerable populations at risk
With the threat of future health crises, the most vulnerable populations are the most impacted in an under-performing health system.
Digital technology has the potential to expand access to healthcare.
It can extend the coverage of primary healthcare, strengthen health systems, reduce costs, improve the quality of care, and strengthen health systems in low- and middle-income communities.
Making progress towards equity.
While digitization can amplify inequality, the adoption of digital healthcare tools and services is a vital step towards upgrading the quality and consistency of healthcare services in emerging nations and making progress towards equity.
"Digital technology is not the silver bullet to achieving universal health coverage, but it is central to the successful design of well-functioning and resilient healthcare systems."
The complex challenges in this ecosystem call for a collaborative approach.
We believe the cooperation of committed cross-sector parties that build on each other’s strengths and capabilities is fundamental to creating an enabling environment for digital healthcare transformation in low- and middle-income countries.
"The key challenge with digital health in low- and middle- income countries lies in the implementation across the health system. The infrastructure, competencies, skills, resources, financing and governance are often limited, fragmented and siloed."

Helping shape the digital health infrastructure needed to adapt to the fast-evolving needs of digital connected care, especially on security, inclusivity and privacy.
Reducing fragmentation
Co-creating integrated solutions across the health continuum to reduce the current fragmentation in the digital health landscape due to lack of knowledge sharing and interoperability with other initiatives.
Our Strategy

Join us on our mission for Universal Health Coverage
We are continually looking to onboard new members who are willing to commit to our mission, provide operational resources and co-create. As a multi-stakeholder coalition, we are looking to bring in a variety of voices, sectors and actors involved in the digital transformation of healthcare.
