Must-read this weekend: Report by Task Force on Digital Financing of the #SDGs
3.6B people lack resources and capabilities to take advantage of the digital world.
Addressing this gap will contribute to resilience of health systems and economieshttps://digitalfinancingtaskforce.org/downloads/
From from tobacco cessation to #diabetes treatment, digital technology is already helping to meet #NCDs health challenges. Much more can be done. But international cooperation is needed to make a real difference. Cooperation cannot be confined to yesterday’s clubs of actors.
As we begin the #DecadeOfAction to achieve #2030Agenda and the SDGs, digitalization will be the critical enabler, kick-starting the transformative changes we need to create stronger, more resilient and inclusive health systems, communities and societies on a healthy planet.
The recovery from the current #COVID19 crisis must be driven by investments in digital solutions that support inclusive and sustainable health systems able the meet the health-care needs of people living with #NCDs.
Options being developed under @antonioguterres initiative 'Financing for Development in the Era of COVID-19 and Beyond' must overcome deepening #DigitalDivide and ensure that digital technologies are a key component of financing for a recovery inclusive of addressing NCDs.
