“The Community Health Academy recognizes that existing approaches to scaling digital health technology on a national scale have failed to yield sustainable results. The key to success is the recognition that the platform and the health-related information it conveys should be treated as a global public good where the common elements of the community health worker curriculum are leveraged to create a digitally based global curriculum that can be adapted, localized, and updated by individual governments. The question the Community Health Academy poses to the HIFA community is whether the global community – including governments, civil society, global institutions, and other partners — is ready to collaborate on providing a sustainable process for delivering digital educational content to health workers?
