Webinar 2025-03-28 "WHO Update"
Dear GMDS Member,
as you might remember from last year, the GMDS project group “Global Health Informatics (GHI)” had organized a webinar with an overview of the activities of the WHO Department of Digital Health & Innovation.
To our great pleasure, Dr. Alain Labrique from the World Health Organisation (WHO) has again accepted to give a follow up webinar to last year’s session. Dr. Labrique is the director of the Department of Digital Health & Innovation at WHO. This time, he and his team will focus on the following topics:
- Introduction to the Global Initiative on Digital Health (GIDH) and what it takes for GMDS to become a member (10 min presentation + Q&A)
- WHO AI and Global Initiative on AI for Health priorities (10 min presentation + Q&A)
- Dialogues and information gathering about the German Digital Health Architecture for GDHCN (10 min presentation + Q&A)
We’d love to invite you to this session, even if you are not planning to be a member of the GHI project group, yet. Feel also free to forward this invitation to interested colleagues from outside GMDS.
Kind regards,
Kind regards,
