Internet and mobile coverage as well as adoption of information and communication technologies have grown significantly in recent years. The International Telecommunication Union estimates it at +1 billion every 5 years. Between 2000 and 2020, the number of mobile subscriptions has multiplied by 90, reaching 944 million in Sub-Saharan Africa (83% of the population). At the same time, and despite significant progress in recent decades, the need for access to quality healthcare is still very high in most developing countries. The use of digital technology could accelerate these advances, by facilitating patient follow-up, training of health professionals, and improving the coverage of health services. With a view to moving towards Universal Health Coverage, digital tools have the potential to accompany the transformation of health systems.
