What is the eHealth Leadership Forum?
The eHealth Leadership Forum (eHLF) is a place for country digital leaders to learn from one another, as they work through the various issues related to building and operationalizing eHealth strategies!
As a digital health Leader, you know how challenging it can be, building and operationalizing eHealth strategies, while coordinating the work of governments, donors, implementers, and other interested parties. All while simultaneously trying to align this work with the goals of health leadership within the country!
The eHLF gives you the space to learn from peers in other countries who are dealing with similar issues and learn from each other’s successes and challenges. Based upon Forum member interest, we host events, invite relevant experts to activities, and bring relevant content to help you all work effectively with one another!
What can you expect in the forum?
- A private WhatsApp group where you can share your contact information, and updates with each other.
- Monthly Zoom meetings to connect with each other.
- In-person events during the OpenHIE community meetings and other times that make sense for participants.

Joining the eHealth Leadership Forum
The typical example of a EHLF an eHLF community member is a digital health leader either designated by a country MOH or related national level organization. They tend to be more strategically focused, and serve in an oversight and coordinative role at a regional or national level. Leadership can be defined differently depending on the local context. Examples of great fits for this community include national government digital health leaders, leaders within recognized regional bodies, country level & regional level WHO Offices, as well as any team leaders responsible for in country implementations related to OpenHIE. We encourage those who are formally representing country leadership and helping to design eHealth strategies to reach out to the OpenHIE Secretariat to learn more. Existing members of the eHLF are expected to commit to at least 1 hour per month as well as also assist with recruiting new members.
The OpenHIE secretariat supports call logistics and the hosting space for documentation, but topics for discussion are determined & lead by those members that are providing in country leadership. The secretariat works to coordinate scheduling of meetings & meeting agenda in consultation with the Chair. The OpenHIE secretariat needs help from members to identify other peers who might benefit the forum which is why existing members are expected to assist in recruiting/ recommending new members.
