Healthcare Capacity Buildings and Working Groups
Participants seeking further information on healthcare-related use cases are encouraged to refer to materials and outcomes from previous capacity-building sessions and working groups. These resources provide practical examples, lessons learned, and tested approaches that can inform current discussions and project development. Reviewing past initiatives will help ensure alignment with established best practices and build on existing knowledge within the community.
