Since the 1978 Declaration of Alma-Ata affirming health as a fundamental human right, policy-makers and stakeholders have proposed many different strategies to achieve the goal of 'health for all'. However, globally there still remains a lack of access to health information and quality health care, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Digital health holds great promise to improve access and quality of care. We propose using the "resilient health system framework" as a guide to scale-up digital health as a means to achieve universal health care (UHC) and health for all. This article serves as a call to action for all governments to include population-based digital health tools as a foundational element in on-going health system priorities and service delivery.
自1978年《阿拉木图宣言》确认健康是一项基本人权以来，政策制定者和利益相关者提出了许多不同的战略来实现“全民健康”的目标。然而，在全球范围内，仍然缺乏获取健康信息和高质量医疗保健的机会，尤其是在低收入和中等收入国家（LMIC）。数字健康有望极大地改善医疗服务的可及性和质量。我们建议使用“弹性卫生系统框架”作为扩大数字健康规模的指南，以此作为实现全民健康覆盖（UHC）和全民健康的一种手段。本文呼吁所有政府将基于人群的数字健康工具作为持续的卫生系统优先事项和服务提供中的一个基本要素。
