Abstract
A prosperous and healthy region is one in which each EAC Partner State can participate fully in trade and industry within an environment that sustains and nourishes its people, free of health and the continuous movement of people underscore the need for a regional approach to track and respond to regional health priority
needs while laying the groundwork for a robust and sustainable regional economy. Technology can help to strengthen regional health systems by bolstering the access, use, and performance of health services.
The Digital Regional East African Community Health (Digital REACH) Initiative will be a new, ground-breaking Initiative within the East African Community (EAC) that will implement regionally-focused, interoperable information and communications technology (ICT) across all dimensions of the health sector in East Africa,
The Initiative has been developed based on collaboration and inputs from representatives of the EAC Partner Republic of Rwanda, the Republic of South Sudan, the United Republic of Tanzania, and the Republic of Uganda. Each of the Digital REACH workstreams described in this document supports the EAC’s integration agenda Initiative, which is why it has received the highest levels of political support in the EAC region.
