2026_2030 National Digital Health Strategic Plan.Cameroon.2026

Abstract

In 2020, Cameroon adopted the 2020-2024 National Digital Health Strategic Plan (NDHSP) in order to take advantage of the potential of digital technology in the health sector. Its implementation has led to numerous milestones, including: the creation of an Inter-ministerial Digital Health Committee, the adoption of a national digital health architecture, the signing of a number of agreements with technical and financial partners, the deployment of many applications at the national level, such as DHIS2 and Universal Health Coverage (UHC) management tools, and finally, the building of human capacity through the training of thousands of healthcare professionals. Building on the 2020-2030 Health Sector Strategy, the progress made and lessons learned during the implementation of the 2020-2024 National Digital Health Strategic Plan, and international and regional trends and experiences in digital health, Cameroon is resolutely committed to the digital transformation of its health system to accelerate the achievement of Universal Health Coverage, promote the well-being of the population, and strengthen national resilience to health challenges. It is with this in mind that, following a collaborative and consultative process, and drawing on several activities, the 2026-2030 National Digital Health Strategic Plan was developed.
