Why Countries Need Smart Systems to Advance Health Equity?
The Next Frontier: Intelligence for Health Equity
Countries are increasingly facing complex health challenges marked by inequality in access and outcomes. Traditional systems are not agile enough to anticipate and respond to evolving needs, especially in fragile and resource-constrained contexts. Smart systems powered by artificial intelligence, geo-intelligence, and digital platforms offer countries novel abilities to generate predictive insights, optimize resource allocation, and ensure no community is left behind.
Global Momentum for Digital Transformation in Health
Recognizing digital transformation as an inevitable driver in these days and ages, the global health community has been actively advocating more equitable and modern systems. The WHO Global Strategy on Digital Health and the Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030) call for leveraging data and technology to improve health equity and system resilience. For immunization in particular, smart digital innovations enable countries to strengthen microplanning, track zero-dose children, and improve accountability in service delivery — aligning with global health’s vision of reaching everyone, everywhere, at every age.
Country-Led Innovation: Ownership and Sustainability
While global frameworks and partners provide direction, lasting change requires country-led solutions that respond to local realities. Ministries of Health, frontline workers, and communities are best placed to define and adapt digital innovations that work in their contexts. By supporting South-South learning, peer exchange, and co-creation labs, KLIC2025 ensures that intelligence-driven innovations are not externally imposed, but rather incubated and scaled by those who will sustain them.
From Innovation to Impact: Scaling What Works
Pilot projects and isolated innovations will not suffice to meet the equity challenge. Countries need platforms and ecosystems that can take proven smart solutions to scale, with robust governance, ethical safeguards, and financing models. KLIC2025 will provide a space to showcase, test, and scale smart systems — from AI for predictive supply chains to geo-intelligence for last-mile delivery — ensuring that innovations move beyond experimentation to measurable, population-level impact.
Equity, Trust, and the Human Dimension
Smart systems are not just about technology. They must be designed with equity, ethics, and inclusion at the core, ensuring that marginalized populations benefit, community voices are integrated, and data use builds trust rather than exclusion. By bringing together governments, innovators, civil society, youth, and gender advocates, KLIC2025 reaffirms that health equity is both a technological and a human challenge.
KLIC2025 Objectives
Accelerate adoption of smart systems such as AI, geo-intelligence, and open digital platforms in health.
Facilitate country-led dialogue and experience-sharing on digital transformation for immunization equity.
Support South-South learning and cross-sector collaboration between governments, innovators, and communities.
Showcase and incubate innovations through storytelling, labs, and hackathon prototypes.
