📌Partnership aims to help governments to transform digital health delivery and public financial management. Health systems in low- and middle-income countries often struggle to provide timely and relevant care due to program inefficiencies. Healthcare workers and managers either have insufficient or incomplete information to make the relevant decisions, and governments have limited visibility into how financial resources are allocated and spent, affecting planning and funding for service delivery. The eGov Foundation and CHAI are partnering to help close this gap by supporting governments to establish well-planned, integrated, scalable digital solutions. The collaboration leverages eGov’s DIGIT Health Campaign Management (HCM), and the Integrated Finance Information Exchange (iFIX) platforms, and CHAI's experience in ensuring the technologies are grounded in the realities of public health workflows and responsive to local contexts. "By pairing CHAI’s public health and implementation experience with eGov’s deep technical capabilities, this partnership helps governments bring cost-effective, high-impact digital solutions to scale.” ~Lakshmi Balachandran, Senior Director, Digital Health, CHAI. 📖Learn more: https://ow.ly/ML2v50Wy5Kz #DigitalHealth #CampaignDigitization #PFM #DPI #HealthSystemsStrengthening #UniversalHealthCoverage #PrimaryHealthcare

Six months after major funding disruptions began, health systems are adapting in ways that weren't anticipated. Programs are being restructured, priorities reassessed, and new approaches tested out of necessity. This Wednesday, Dr. Neil Buddy Shah, our CEO, speaks with Raj Kumar, President and Editor-in-Chief at Devex, about what these changes look like from the ground. Through our work with health ministries, we're seeing how governments are navigating reduced resources while maintaining essential services. Buddy's unique perspective spans both health implementation and technology governance through his role chairing Anthropic Long-Term Benefit Trust—relevant as AI increasingly intersects with health delivery questions.

Hepatitis C is curable with a short, simple treatment that costs as little as US$60. Rwanda is proving that elimination is possible, scalable, and cost-effective. But global momentum is slowing. Key pricing agreements have lapsed, and hepatitis C remains dangerously underfunded. Countries are ready to act, but progress risks stalling without renewed support. This is not a technology problem. It is a political choice. On World Hepatitis Day, CHAI is calling for bold action to finish the job. The window to act is narrowing, but elimination is still within reach.

Exciting Milestone in Strengthening NCD Response in Cambodia! I’m thrilled to share that our collective journey to strengthen systems in response to the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is advancing through a strong collaboration with the Department of Municipality, District, Commune, and Sangkat (DDC) under the General Department of Administration (GDA), Ministry of Interior, in partnership with the Ministry of Health, including PMD, NCHP,PHDs and our committed NGO partners. This important event brought together 55 participants, including the Deputy Director General of Administration, Deputy Provincial Governors, representatives from Provincial Health Departments, District and Commune Councils, and GEDSI-focused NGO partners from across the provinces. This initiative is financially and technically supported by DFAT through the George Institute for Global Health, enabling us to build inclusive, resilient systems to better respond to NCDs at the sub-national level. Importantly, the Commune/Sangkat Department emphasized the importance of sustainability and strongly recommended that all communes and districts invest in this initiative through their respective budgets to ensure long-term impact and ownership. This effort also contributes directly to supporting the Ministry of Health’s Primary Health Care Booster Implementation Framework—strengthening integrated, people-centered care at the community level. Together, we are making meaningful strides toward better health for all Cambodians. 💪🇰🇭 #Cambodia #NCDs #HealthSystemStrengthening #PublicHealth #PHC #Collaboration #GEDSI#LocalGovernance #Sustainability #LocalInvestment
