The WSIS+20 Forum High-Level Event will mark a significant milestone of twenty years of progress made in the implementation of the outcomes of the World Summit on the Information Society, which took place in two phases — Geneva in 2003 and Tunis in 2005. Twenty years ago WSIS set the framework for global digital cooperation with a vision to build people-centric, inclusive, and development-oriented information and knowledge societies.
WHO’s participation is in line with facilitation of the action line C7 on eHealth, which is co-facilitated by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). As per WSIS+20 agenda, the WHO action line report will be presented on Friday, 31 May 2024, 10:00-10:45 CEST/UTC+2 in Innovate Space, at the ITU HQ.
Prior to the regular WSIS report on the C7 eHealth action line on Friday 31 May 2024, and as a WSIS related event, the Global Initiative on Digital Health and partners will be hosting a two-day Multistakeholder Dialogue on National Digital Health Transformation at the ITU Towers on 28 and 29 May 2024. The theme of the dialogue will be Enabling Country-Led Digital Health Architecture. Additional information on the two-day event will follow soon and will also be available at Global Initiative on Digital Health.
