The Digital Health Architecture Blueprint was launched on 03 March 2025 in Ebène, by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Ministry of Health and Wellness. The DHAB initiative will guide the creation of an inter-operable national digital health architecture that ensures continuity of care, and will serve as the foundation towards a unified, secure and accessible health information system in Mauritius. It will help reinforce health services into a modern, high performing quality health system that is patient-centered, equitable, efficient and innovative.
Strengthening Health Information Systems in Mauritius
Mauritius has a resilient healthcare system, but it faces challenges such as the growing burden of non-communicable diseases, an aging population, and the need for more patient-centered care. The COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted the need for digital transformation to enhance healthcare delivery and preparedness for future health crises.
In this context, the UNDP has supported the development of a Digital Health Architecture Blueprint (DHAP), as part of the Digital Health Portfolio. It is a comprehensive, patient-centric initiative which focuses on security, interoperability, and accessibility, ensuring that digital health tools are effective and inclusive.
