In 2021, the World Health Assem­bly approved the Glob­al Dig­i­tal Health Strat­e­gy 2020–25 to pro­mote a coor­di­nat­ed and equi­table dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion of health. Objec­tive 4 of the strat­e­gy empha­sizes the impor­tance of address­ing gen­der equal­i­ty and health equi­ty to ensure dig­i­tal tech­nolo­gies work for all. Work­ing with the World Health Organ­i­sa­tion, we reviewed how 20 nation­al strate­gies address gen­der, inclu­sion and rights and have rec­om­men­da­tions to WHO, nation­al gov­ern­ments, inter­na­tion­al organ­i­sa­tions, and civ­il society.
