eHealth Africa, alongside key stakeholders from government, non-governmental organizations, the private sector, innovators, donors, and community representatives, has issued a bold call for increased local investment to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of digital health solutions, especially in Africa. This critical call was made at the just-concluded Insights Learning Forum (ILF) 2025 held in Abuja, under the theme, “Local Investments for Connected Communities: The Power of Digital Health Networks in Public Health Transformation.” From visionary keynotes to bold panel discussions and breakthrough innovations, the Forum reinforced one truth: transforming health systems requires collective action, strong local leadership, and sustained commitment from all of us.
