In 2015, UN member states pledged, as part of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, to work together to achieve universal health coverage by 2030. Despite some progress in working towards this goal, in 2023 there were still over 500 million people in our world without any access to basic essential health services including reliable health information, access to any health care worker, or access to basic, safe, effective, and affordable medications, vaccines, and diagnostic technology. Because many of these 500 million people who lack any access to even basic health care services live in locales with some access to the internet, digital healthcare technologies offer unique opportunities to enhance the quality and coverage of health services globally.

Transform Health is a global coalition of 230 organisations – across 60 countries – dedicated to achieving UHC by 2030 by harnessing digital technology and the use of data. They bring partners and networks together, to shape policy agendas, influence decision makers, develop tools, and provide technical support for governments and others to strengthen the enabling environment (laws, policies, frameworks and financing) to ensure an equitable, inclusive, sustainable, and rights-based digital health transformation – to deliver health for all in the digital age. Transform Health works across regions and has six national multi-stakeholder coalitions in Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, and Senegal.

On Tuesday, May 19, 2026, from 1500hrs to 1630hrs CET (0900hrs EST) join the WCC’s Faith and Science Working Group Webinar “Digital Health: What is Possible? Who Will Benefit” along with our partner organization, Transform Health, as we explore the possibilities and challenges of digital health care technology and delivery, including specific examples from India and in Kenya. Our panelists include Kirsten Mathieson, the Deputy Director and Policy Lead at Transform Health, Dr. Anuradha Rose, chair of the Department of Bioethics at the Christian Medical College in Vellore, India, and Rev. Jackline Makena Mutuma, an ordained minister of the Methodist church of Kenya and lecturer at St. Paul’s University in Limuru, Kenya, and vice- moderator of the WCC Faith and Order Commission. Will digital healthcare technology bridge gaps in health care coverage—or deepen divides? Will it empower communities to new levels of wellness or leave the most vulnerable even further behind?

Register now to be part of this urgent discussion and help shape the future of equitable healthcare!
