Ethiopia's nationally led and capacity-focused approach demonstrates that sustainable digital health transformation in LMICs requires more than technology; it demands governance reform, local ownership and long-term financing strategies. The lessons from Ethiopia provide transferable insights for other countries seeking to build resilient, self-reliant digital health ecosystems.
