UNICEF-led national digital health assessment — technical lead

Overview

As technical lead on a UNICEF-led national digital health assessment, we directed the technical evaluation of multiple national-scale core health information systems against international standards — covering clinical functionality, operational efficiency, scalability, interoperability, and security and privacy.

Role

• ·Designed and led the end-to-end technical review methodology
• ·Evaluated system scalability, interoperability, security, and privacy compliance
• ·Identified structural risks and capability gaps, proposing actionable engineering improvements
• ·Developed short-, medium-, and long-term architectural roadmaps with cost estimates

Methodology

• ·Audited functionality, usability, and operational efficiency across multiple core platforms
• ·Verified data architecture integrity and cross-system interoperability
• ·Benchmarked security and privacy controls against international standards
• ·Formulated evidence-based engineering recommendations

Outcome

Delivered an evidence-based assessment for national-level decision-making and a clear engineering roadmap for subsequent system modernization.

Phased roadmap

Structured across three horizons — short term (operational stability), medium term (interoperability and data standards), and long term (scalability and optimization) — balancing cost-effectiveness with practical execution.
