Spring Meetings 2026 | How Digital Health and AI Can Expand Access to Care at Scale

How can digital health and AI in primary health care help reach 1.5 billion people with quality, affordable services by 2030? What does it look like when it works at scale? This session examined how digital health solutions are already expanding access to care by improving service delivery, increasing efficiency, and reaching underserved populations through remote care and data‑driven systems. Drawing on real‑world experience from Senegal and World Bank–supported programs, speakers shared practical examples of what is working today to improve access, quality, and health system performance, as well as where key gaps remain. The discussion explored the policy, infrastructure, and investment needed to scale these solutions sustainably, and the role governments, regulators, and private partners play in translating innovation into results people can see and use. https://live.worldbank.org/en/event/2026/spring-meetings-deliver-digital-health-care?cid=ECR_E_NewsletterWeekly_EN_EXT&deliveryName=DM279560
