Digital Health And Health Promotion In Algeria: Opportunities, Challenges, And Future Directions

Authors : Harbouche Soumia .

Abstract

Digital health has become a key component of modern healthcare, improving access, efficiency, and quality through technologies such as telemedicine, artificial intelligence, and health data systems. In developing countries, it offers opportunities to reduce disparities and strengthen preventive care. In Algeria, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed weaknesses in traditional systems and highlighted the need for digital transformation. However, implementation remains limited due to infrastructural, organizational, and regulatory challenges. This study analyzes the role of digital health in promoting public health in Algeria and emphasizes that its success depends on a coherent national strategy, political commitment, capacity building, and strong ethical and legal frameworks.
