The Academy of Digital Health Sciences (ADHS) today announced the launch of its ‘AI for All’ Mission, a programme focused on expanding the use of artificial intelligence across healthcare systems. The mission is linked to the vision outlined by ADHS in 2022 to support Digital Health for All by 2028, marking the 50th anniversary of the Alma-Ata Declaration on Primary Health Care. The mission was launched by Jitendra Singh, Union Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office.
As part of the ‘AI for All’ rollout, ADHS has announced two educational offerings that extend its portfolio of digital health programmes. The first is the Certified Digital Health Officer (CDHO) programme, a certification designed for healthcare professionals, administrators and policy leaders. The programme is being offered jointly by Indian Institute of Management, Raipur and Academy of Digital Health Sciences, and participants will receive IIM Executive Alumni status.
Sanjeev Prashar, Director-In charge, Indian Institute of Management Raipur said in a statement, “We are witnessing a defining shift in healthcare where leadership must evolve alongside technology. The Certified Digital Health Officer (CDHO) programme, launched in partnership with the Academy of Digital Health Sciences, has been designed to equip healthcare C-suite leaders, founders, government officials, administrators, and policy professionals with the strategic understanding required to lead digital transformation at scale. We are pleased to jointly offer this programme with Executive Alumni status from Indian Institute of Management Raipur, reflecting our commitment to shaping the next generation of healthcare leadership.”
The second offering is a post-graduate course in Digital Health and Public Health with certification from ADHS, IIM Raipur and PHFI Institute of Public Health Sciences, deemed to be University.

K Srinath Reddy, Chancellor, PHFI institute of Public Health Sciences, deemed to be University stated “The convergence of Digital Health and Public Health is not just an academic achievement; it is a societal imperative.

I am honoured that PHFI’s deemed to be university, and the Academy of Digital Health Sciences are linking arms to provide the needed momentum for accelerated progress in India’s public health programmes.”
Academy of Digital Health Sciences has partnered with the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Raipur and the Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) University to launch a triple-certified programme in Digital Health, Management and Public Health. The programme will offer a qualification jointly validated by the three institutions.

At the Academy of Digital Health Sciences, we are not waiting for the future. We are building it, one learner, one clinician, one system at a time. Our ‘AI for All’ mission through various professional upskilling programmes (courses) is our promise to the world: by 2028, the year we honour the 50th Anniversary of Alma-Ata, digital health will be within reach of every person with access to the internet on this planet.”
