MANDALUYONG, Philippines – The Standards and Interoperable Lab – Asia (SIL-Asia) collaborated with Tom Jones, Director of Strategy and Impact at the African Centre for eHealth Excellence, in strengthening the Digital Health Impact Framework (DHIF) materials at the ADB Headquarters, Manila, Philippines on 12-14 March 2018.

To answer the question of many countries on the cost needed to invest for interoperability, a team was formed to work on DHIF.

The team is composed of Tom Jones (Author, DHIF), Peter Drury (Author, WHO ITU Toolkit), and Philip Zuniga (Technical Lead, SIL-Asia).

The DHIF is a tool that can be used by ministries to come up with a cost-effective framework that will justify how digital health investments will result in country benefits.
