Frameworks for Governance, Economic Sustainability, and Impact Assessment in Digital Health Transformation: Governing eHealth Systems in Africa

In a world where digital technologies are reshaping healthcare, Africa stands at a defining crossroads. This powerful and deeply insightful book goes beyond the hype of digital health to uncover what truly determines success: governance, sustainability, and measurable impact.

Drawing from real-world African contexts, policy experience, and rigorous research, this book introduces practical frameworks—including the PANACEA Governance Model and the MEASURE Evaluation Framework—designed to help countries move from fragmented pilot projects to scalable, sovereign, and sustainable digital health systems.

Rather than presenting technology as a “quick fix,” the book confronts the deeper realities—political economy, financing constraints, institutional weaknesses, and equity challenges—that shape digital health outcomes across the continent.

This 500+ pages is not just a book—it is a strategic guide for transforming health systems in Africa and other low- and middle-income countries.

This book is ideal for:

• Policy makers & Ministries of Health
• Digital health professionals & implementers
• Researchers & students in health informatics
• NGOs, donors, and development partners
• Health tech entrepreneurs & innovators
• Public health leaders in Africa & LMICs
