Offer Description

Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is central to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and particularly SDG 3, which aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all. This would entail all individuals and communities having equal access to key promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative health interventions without financial constraints. Despite gains of 2.6% for sub-Saharan Africa’s (SSA) UHC coverage between 2010 to 2019, improvements monitoring for maternity, neonatal and child health outcomes highlight that SSA has trailed behind other regions.

Digital global health is an entry point and enabler for the digital transformation, addressing health, healthcare, participation and society. Digital Global Health aims to share knowledge on strategies seeking to enhance efficiency of healthcare delivery, community empowerment, sensor-supported diagnosis, treatment and monitoring, highlighting studies and global data. Digital health has the potential to advance capacity for global health research, education and communication.

The PhD position is devoted to enhance the uptake of digital health education/promotion (DHP)  with a specific focus on women and girls. The work combines the aspects of digital transformation, society empowerment and global health. 

Through previous work in the “Non-discriminating access for Digital Inclusion (DigI)” project, we have developed the methodology and created digital health animations for empowering people in rural Africa on health topics.
