The 2022 Meta Health Summit
Health is everything, but everything is changing: COVID-19 transformed the way we access health information and care. More and more, people expect to find reliable answers to their health questions and even health services digitally and on demand.
On May 19, 2022, Meta hosted a two-hour global virtual event to explore these new needs and how the public health community is using data and digital tools to fulfill them.
Experts from WHO, UNICEF, PSI, CARE and other organizations joined us to share their insights on how digital tools can help create healthier communities. Check out videos from the event to get inspired by their stories and strategies.
