National Digital Health Transformation Strategy 2025-2030
Foreword by the Minister of Public Health
Lebanon has long been recognized as a country of innovation and resilience, an early adopter of transformative technologies across many sectors, including health. Even in the face of economic hardship, political instability, and a protracted humanitarian crisis, Lebanon’s healthcare sector has continuously shown creativity, adaptability, and resolve. It is with this same spirit that we present the National Digital Health Transformation Strategy, a bold yet practical roadmap that seeks to fundamentally reshape how healthcare is delivered, accessed, and managed in Lebanon.
Digital transformation is no longer a luxury reserved for high-resource settings. It is a necessity, especially for countries like ours that strive to deliver equitable and quality healthcare amidst constrained resources. This strategy is not just about technology. It is about equity, efficiency, and empowerment. It is about ensuring that no mother in a rural village, no older adult in an underserved community, and no child living with chronic illness is left behind in our vision for health.Digitalization is, above all, a health reform tool. It strengthens governance, builds transparency, enhances decision-making, and ensures continuity of care. It allows for more targeted, timely, and patient-centred services. It lays the foundation for proactive population health management, where data drives decisions and people drive outcomes.
This strategy, developed with the support of UNICEF and the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies, reflects a collective national vision anchored in evidence, foresight, and stakeholder collaboration. It outlines a phased, realistic approach that embraces innovation while acknowledging our current limitations. It proposes a system where interoperability, standards, and regulatory agility are not abstract ideals, but lived practices.
The Ministry of Public Health calls on all our partners, including public institutions, academic bodies, private sector innovators, frontline healthcare workers, and civil society to rally around this shared agenda. We need to view digital health not as a distant goal, but as a present-day solution.We need to harness digital health to close the gaps, improve outcomes, and unlock Lebanon’s full health potential. Through digital health transformation, we can collectively build a more inclusive, accountable, and future-ready health system, one that delivers on the promise of health as a right,not a privilege.
