4. Leverage digital transformation to reimagine the future of health systems.
As countries seek to build more resilient health systems within the con-
text of socioeconomic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, national
health plans and agendas are being reviewed and enhanced, new and
innovative ways of working are being introduced, and significant in-
vestments are being made in digital technologies in consultation with
stakeholders. It is therefore timely to work with countries to ensure that
the innovation agenda, through the adoption of digital solutions, lea-
ves no one behind, improves patient pathways and the delivery of care,
and considers the current environment and the necessary changes in
financial, infrastructural, human, organizational and cultural resources
as part of the digital ecosystem.

regional or local level, this action plan acknowledges that the instituti-
onalization of digital health requires leadership and a long-term com-
mitment by countries to achieve transformation of health systems and
improvement in people’s health and well-being.

The strategic Priorities to Develop a Real Digital Learning for Health
Professions in Europe.
This Action Plan (World Health Orgaanization, ) that apparently focuses

systems is strongly linked with health professions´ education and trainin-
gships across the European regions and therefore identifies four strategic
priorities for the achievement of this vision that should be considered when
designing learning initiatives and innovation proposals:

1. setting norms and developing technical guidance and formulating di-
rection to support decision-making in digital health;
. enhancing country, regional or local – in any environment – capacities
to better govern digital transformation in the health sector and advan-
ce digital health literacy;
3. building networks and promoting dialogue and knowledge exchange
to facilitate interaction between partners, stakeholders and the wider
public to steer the agenda for innovation in digital health;
4. conducting horizon-scanning and landscape analysis for patient-cen-
tred solutions that can be scaled up at country or regional level to help
