IFC’s new upstream initiative, the Global Digital Health Platform (DigiHealth), will begin in Sri Lanka with the aim to create a platform to partner with healthcare organisations to develop, implement, and finance their digital transformation strategies. In Sri Lanka, the platform will help Hemas scale up its overall services, boost efficiency, and accelerate its digital transformation strategy across its portfolio of health companies. This partnership with IFC is a validation of our ongoing efforts to digitalise and optimise delivery of healthcare services across Sri Lanka. Easy access to quality healthcare services has become increasingly important in a post-Covid world, especially for vulnerable communities. Prior to the Covid-19 outbreak, basic early stage digital health systems across the globe, as estimated by Grand View Research, were set to grow from $ 95 billion in 2018 to $ 509 billion by 2025.
