Mitigating Fragmentation in Healthcare: A Pathway Towards Efficiency and Equity Fragmentation, the disjointed operation of public and private healthcare sectors, presents a significant challenge to achieving optimal health outcomes. Fortunately, fostering collaboration between these sectors holds immense potential for improving efficiency, ensuring equitable access, and ultimately reducing overall healthcare expenditures. *Strategies for Integration: Health Information Exchange (HIE) Standardized Protocols Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) Government Incentives #UHC #AfricahealthExCon

Teamwork makes the dream work! Healthcare providers, policymakers, and communities all play critical roles in breaking down barriers and building up bridges to better health. When we work together, we create solutions that ensure everyone has access to the care they need. It’s time to listen, empower, and act. Let’s partner for a healthier, more equitable future. #HealthEquity #Partnerships #HealthcareInnovation #SocialImpact #EquityInAction

Despite modern advancements in medicine and technology, more than half the world's population does not have coverage for essential healthcare services. On #WorldHealthDay, with the theme 'my health, my right,' let's shed light on the systemic inequalities that prevent many from enjoying this fundamental human right. From disparities in access to treatment to barriers in healthcare affordability, there's much work to be done to achieve health equity. As we work to improve access to clinical trials and novel therapies, we appreciate everyone working in other aspects of healthcare to expand access to all levels of medical care.

Key principles of the #digitalhealthcare equity framework Six key principles guided development of the framework: 1) Ensure #digitalhealthcare solutions that involve digital technologies ameliorate, not exacerbate, inequities. 2) Represent equity through person-centeredness. 3) Encourage #inclusivity and participatory creation of digital healthcare solutions. 4) Support effective implementation in diverse settings. 5) Ensure specific attention to policy/regulatory relevance or impact of the proposed solutions. 6) Focus on impact and outcomes for patients, health systems, and communities.

CAPACITY AND IMPACT The essence of capacity includes impact. Let your impact be felt. Organisations are ramping up capacity to meet minimum standards to enable meaningful impact on the population they serve. Accessibility of quality safe and affordable treatment options is still an issue of concern and organisations must strategise to drive healthcare interventions to the last mile for maximum impact. Being able to deploy healthcare interventions is no doubt a great feat, however, to ensure the initiative gets to the target population or groups, strategic partnership with key players in the healthcare Value Chain is a must. This is where I come in by facilitating access to quality, safe and effective treatment options for various public health programs through high level engagement at all levels with governmental and non-governmental partner entities in the public health space. This is how we deliver quality, safe and effective treatment options for the benefit of those in critical need.

🌐Everyone deserves care that focuses on them, offers real value, and coordinates seamlessly across services. These offerings should not be privileges for a few but standards for all. Behind the scenes, initiatives like the LMI Health Equity Collaborative are pushing hard to bridge these gaps, ensuring quality healthcare for all. https://hubs.ly/Q02j9sZg0 // #HealthEquity #EmpoweredCommunities #NewSpeedOfPossible //
