The World Economic Forum (WEF) has launched a new initiative in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group (BCG) to leverage digital tools and technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), for global healthcare transformation. Emphasizing the critical role of public-private collaboration, the initiative aims to address complex challenges in the healthcare system by fostering international cooperation on innovative digital tools like AI to reshape patient care and enhance system efficiency.

A joint report by WEF and BCG titled "Transforming Healthcare: Navigating Digital Health with a Value-Driven Approach" underscores the urgent need for collaborative efforts to scale up digital solutions. The report outlines five digital enablers, including data utilization, tech and analytics foundation, aligned incentives, strengthened digital capabilities, and fit-for-purpose regulations, to expedite the sustainable transformation of healthcare systems globally. The initiative marks a significant step toward harnessing digital solutions and AI to improve health outcomes, enhance efficiency, and address global healthcare challenges.
