What is the eHealth Leadership Forum?

A peer learning group for countries dealing with similar issues related to building and operationalizing eHealth strategies.

As an eHealth 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 eHealth Leadership Forum 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.  

The forum is only beneficial if members are open & come ready to share their thoughts & experiences within a focused, protected group of peers who are alike.

Joining the eHealth Leadership Forum

We know that leadership within countries is unique to each specific country. No matter the circumstances, 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. 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 OpenHIE secretariat needs help from members to identify other peers who might benefit the forum.
