The objective of this event was to highlight the central importance of Digital Health in achieving One Planetary Health and operationalizing Universal Health Coverage 2030,and the role that the establishment of the Commonwealth Centre for Digital Health (CWCDH) will play as a catalytic and collaborative enabler of Digital Health innovation and investment in the Commonwealth at large.

To connect the dots, dedicated multi-stakeholder mechanisms for digital health innovation and investment will be required. In this regard, the Commonwealth Centre for Digital Health was launched on 20 April 2018 at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in London. Along with the NHS, this pan-Commonwealth platform will work with national health systems across 53 nations and 2.6 billion people to deliver on long-standing global health commitments, as well as the post-Brexit political push for enhanced trade in Commonwealth goods and services.
