Break-out Group Discussions - Round Tables - 90 Min
1. Right to the Internet
2. Right to Privacy
3. Right to Health
Connection with previous Messages: The session builds on the key theme of connecting all people and safeguarding their right to care. The availability of internet-based tools and availability of clinicians and paramedics can be a great eabler in connecting the people when in need of care or in the case of natural disasters. It is a fact that due to climate change, extreme weather events are now happening on a regular basis. It is time to leverage the internet based tools to 'connect the people' for safety and care.
3. Good Health and Well-Being
17. Partnerships for the Goals
Targets: Good health and well-being can be advanced using technology for risk assessment, providing primary care through health helplines and mobile phone-based support for primary prevention, care and nutrition-related information and consultations in remote areas. The session is about moving from the three-tiered approach to a four-tiered approach with technology becoming the base layer.
Partnerships for the goals are the underlying theme to achieving the SDGs related to health. Without partnerships, we would be siloed in our approach as SDG 3 is about a multi-stakeholder partnership. We will discuss during the session the convening nature of the partnerships and the involvement of various actors to advance the state of primary care using tools of technology.
Description:
For decades we have looked at Healthcare delivery through a three-tiered healthcare delivery. This model is based on primary, secondary and tertiary care models. With this model, we have observed that healthcare has become more complex and painful. We are living longer popping pills and staying in the care of doctors and hospitals. Moreover, healthcare has not reached remote and poor areas. This gap is widening with time with the conventional model.
It is time to redo the three-tiered model of healthcare by integrating the digital tools and making it the base layer. Thereby converting the healthcare into a four-tiered model of healthcare delivery. The session will discuss practical applications of Digital health and how to integrate in into healthcare delivery.
The session will deliberate;
1 The existing models of care.
2. Available technologies.
3. Integration of technologies with health.
4. Bridging the access and affordability divide.
The panel will talk about the available technologies and how they can make it less dependent on clinicians and shift the centre of gravity from providers to care seekers.
The session will lead to a knowledge paper on the framework for a four-tiered model. This framework can be a template for the developing and under-developed countries to address the issue of providing basic primary care through a technology-enabled system.
Hybrid Format: The onsite speakers and online speakers will be connected via zoom. We have done a similar session last year at IGF, and the arrangements worked well.
We will have between 1-3 online speakers connected via zoom video conference.
I along with four panellists will be onsite to coordinate with the other speakers and the audience
