Integrating Digital Health into Weak Governance Systems: A Policy Framework for Health System Strengthening in Sub-Saharan Africa
Chukpue Padmore, A., & Flomo, E. N. B. (2026)
Submitted to: Health Research Policy and Systems / Global Health Research and Policy
This paper proposes the Digital Health Governance Integration Model (DHGIM) — an original conceptual framework synthesizing the WHO Health System Building Blocks, the TAPIC governance framework, and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study identifies structural barriers to digital health adoption in Sub-Saharan Africa and proposes a six-pillar integrated policy framework and phased implementation roadmap.
