Background

The Global Strategy on Digital Health 2020–2025 aims to use digital technologies as digital public goods to address health system challenges. Digital health technology and related products can help solve issues related to healthcare services provision and equal resource distribution. However, there is limited information on the best business models for local entrepreneurs in the digital health space.

Methods

A multi-site collective case study was conducted with private entrepreneurs in two African countries operating in digital health based on public global goods. Data was collected through semi-structured questionnaires and interviews to generate rich data, and framework analysis was used to guide themes using NVivo version 14.0 software.

Results

The study identified four major themes: sustainable business models, value chains businesses participate in, enablers and obstacles to business sustainability.

Conclusion

The findings suggest that business-to-business, business-to-consumer, business-to-business-to-customer, and on-demand are sustainable business models.
