What is the Digital Health Atlas and how can South Sudan use it?
The Digital Health Atlas is a global registry of digital health implementations that helps countries map, coordinate, and scale digital health solutions.

The Digital Health Atlas (digitalhealthatlas.org) is a WHO-supported platform that allows countries to register and track digital health implementations, including mobile health apps, electronic health records, telemedicine systems, and health information platforms. By registering digital health implementations in the Atlas, South Sudan can: avoid duplication of digital health investments; identify opportunities for scaling successful solutions; facilitate coordination between implementing partners; and contribute to the global evidence base for digital health. Health informatics professionals in South Sudan are encouraged to register their digital health projects in the Atlas and to use it to identify existing solutions that could be adapted for the South Sudan context.
SSHIA maintains a register of digital health implementations in South Sudan and contributes this data to the Digital Health Atlas. Members who are implementing digital health projects are encouraged to contact SSHIA to ensure their project is included in the national digital health landscape mapping.
