To translate this strategic vision into implementable actions, the Government, with technical and financial assistance from UNICEF, is developing a Digital Health Investment Roadmap 2025–2030. This roadmap identifies the priority interventions, sequencing, institutional responsibilities, partnerships, and investment areas necessary to build a resilient, interoperable, and user-centered digital health ecosystem. It aims to consolidate fragmented digital initiatives, align them with national priorities, and provide a coherent framework for coordinated implementation
