PATH at the 2024 Global Digital Health Forum

On December 4-6, 2024, PATH will join hundreds of colleagues from the digital health community in Nairobi, Kenya, for the Global Digital Health Forum (GDHF).

GDHF is a seminal event in the digital health industry, providing opportunities for relationship-building and knowledge-sharing for technology experts, donors, researchers, government representatives, and implementing organizations working to improve health equity through digital innovations.

This year, PATH's delegation will participate in more than 15 sessions in-person and virtually, representing vital elements of our digital health portfolio, such as leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) for clinical decision support and empowering local entrepreneurs and ministries of health in the adoption and use of global goods. As sponsors of the first-ever Climate-Informed Data Services for Health Track, PATH is proud to support critical and urgent conversations around using digital tools and data to build climate-resilient health systems. Outside of regular Forum programming, you can also find us at side events like the Women in Digital Health Leadership Workshop and the first even Open Digital Health Summit.

To join us, you can register as an in-person or virtual participant (virtual participation is free for students and residents of low- and middle-income countries).
