<\/p>\n
A showcase for the Foundation\u2019s work<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Conference on\u00a0Interoperable Digital Health for Universal Health Coverage and sixth General Meeting<\/a> of the Asia eHealth Information Network\u00a0(AeHIN)<\/a>, took place in Colombo, Sri Lanka from 07 – 09 October 2018. The event drew about 332 participants from 36 countries from South East Asia, Western Pacific, Africa, Americas, Europe and Oceania. The participants composed primarily of representatives from ministries of health and health-related organisations from government, the development partners, academe and the private sector. In the Conference on Interoperable Digital Health for Universal Health Coverage, the Fondation Pierre Fabre was invited to present about its eHealth programmes during the plenary session, including the\u00a0Global South eHealth Observatory<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0teledermatology project<\/a>. During the third plenary session, Mme B\u00e9atrice Garrette, Director General, Fondation Pierre Fabre spoke at a roundtable titled \u201cDigital Health Benefits and Opportunities for Countries\u201d, which included representatives from the World Health Organization (WHO), Asian Development Bank (ADB), Digital Impact Alliance (DIAL) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) being the other speakers.
\nAn official ceremony was also held for the signing of the collaboration agreement between the Foundation and the AeHIN (photo). This partnership facilitates sharing expertise and provides enhanced support to the Observatory\u2019s Asian winners, several of which were invited to Colombo, such as Amakomaya<\/a> (2017 winner, Nepal), Op\u00e9ration ASHA<\/a> (2018 winner, Cambodia) and TraumaLink<\/a> (2018 winner, Bangladesh).<\/p>\nA dynamic network<\/strong><\/p>\nAeHIN is a collaboration of digital health advocates created by the World Health Organization in 2011 to help Asian countries with digital health development. AeHIN now has more than 1150 members from about 61 countries representing Academia, Government, International Development Agencies, NGOs, UN Agencies and the industry\/private sector. AeHIN\u2019s approach is based on peer-to-peer assistance and knowledge sharing with the objective of capacity-building at ministries of health and providing the tools needed to build comprehensive eHealth policies. This serves to combat fragmentation, when there are a wide variety of short-lived, uncoordinated projects undertaken that do not share information with the health authorities in the countries concerned. The network provides a platform for productive exchanges using conceptual tools, combined with a very pragmatic approach with the following four strategic areas for action:<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Enhance leadership and governance for digital health<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Offer capacity-building for digital health (Mind the GAPS), CRVS and people identity<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Create opportunities for knowledge exchange and resource sharing<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Achieve interoperability through appropriate use of standards<\/p>\n
