The digital health initiative (Digital Square)

Digital Square works to create a future where governments and decision-makers can access the information they need to ensure better health outcomes for all.

The activity aims to perpetuate the pilot programs by aligning donors and the digital community around shared goals, supporting technical capacity in-country, coordinating and aligning investments around government priorities to achieve lasting impact, and promoting the reuse and adaptation of existing open-source digital health solutions.

In Bangladesh, the activity will use FY17 funds to continue providing technical assistance to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) to maintain the operations of the digitized supply chain management systems developed by USAID in the last six years.

Digital Square will work with a local Information Technology firm to assist MoHFW to maintain and use the system for procurement planning..
