Capacity Building for Digital Health - Global Perspective
DATE: 30 nov 2020 02:00 PM - Brussels Time
The year 2020 witnessed a record increase in the use of digital health. While this increase has resulted in both patients and clinicians benefiting from it, the sustainability of this growth will depend on the capacity building for digital health, and this is crucial to maintain the tempo.
The ISfTeH, one of the world's longest standing and largest associations of national telemedicine organizations and providers, is hosting a webinar on this important topic of 'Capacity Building for Digital Health - Global Perspective'. The purpose is to bring healthcare leaders from across the globe together to discuss on the status and opportunity in the area of capacity building to meet the increasing demand for digital health, in terms of human resources. Also, the ISfTeH will release the 2nd Knowledge Paper on this topic during the webinar.
Participants will get an opportunity to ask questions during the webinar. Sending questions in advance is encouraged, and the questions received in advance will be given priority. Send to info@isfteh.org and mention "question for the Capacity Building Webinar".
