The purpose of establishing principles for access to donations to benefit the development of Digital Health has its epicenter in preventing the isolation of technology projects that fail due to the incompatibility of initiatives. Basic guidelines were put in place to achieve greater development of telemedicine.
Currently, the medical field is using technology to collect data and information on patients, conditions and other previously unknown factors.
Technology is crucial to improving health systems and their direct relationship to a country's growth, so it is important to participate in donation campaigns where income is allocated that serve as a boost both to develop and to implement new projects.
Technological growth in medicine has been strongly fostered, even if some low- and middle-income countries do not have significant support. This is why there is already a position of medical professionals to advance the so-called Principles for Digital Development.
The 10 Principles of Donor Alignment for Digital Health are in the following list:
- Collaborate to align investments with national digital health strategies.
- Prioritize investments in national plans with “digital global goods”.
- Quantify Costs; including operation and maintaining costs to guarantee sustainability.
- Track investments and progress.
- Strengthen donor technical skills.
- The creation and evolution of a country’s national digital health strategy, policies and regulatory framework.
- Maturity Continuums.
- Sustainable country capacity for digital health leadership.
- Scalable Global Goods.
- Sharing and Peer-learning between countries.
The central point in these principles is to promote support where significant technological advances can enable a better health system, gender and economic equality, as well as sustainable development goals in these low- and middle-income countries.
By adhering to this strategy of constant collaboration, cost quantification, project monitoring, and measurement of investment results, the principles promise to penetrate a much better modernization system in global public health.
Similarly, donor contributions to the advancement of Digital Health are committed to collaborating on strategies that promote effectiveness in the infrastructure of health systems compatible with each country sustainability in order to spread balanced telecommunications networks.
