WHO launches new digital platform to wipe out TB

Geneva, Jul 10 (Prensa Latina) The World Health Organization (WHO) Global Tuberculosis Program has created an online platform to help users find practical advice to implement digital technologies to support TB care worldwide.

The platform includes easy access to guidelines and job aids developed by WHO and technical partners, as well as links to key literature and country examples.

The content is organized around four functions: person-centered care, program management, surveillance and monitoring, and eLearning.

The online platform will be updated regularly with the most recent guidance and tools.

“Digital health is rapidly evolving and the opportunities provided by new developments, such as artificial intelligence, need to be actively exploited”, said Dr. Tereza Kasaeva, Director of WHO’s Global Tuberculosis Program.

The WHO Global Tuberculosis Program engages with Member States and partners to promote the use of digital technologies to achieve targets set in the End TB Strategy, through guidance and technical assistance.
