DICE Support Process

How does DICE provide support?

DICE provides coordinated technical assistance to countries to support sustainable and scalable deployment of carefully chosen mature digital health solutions for planning distribution of medicines and vaccines, supporting service delivery and supply management, epidemiological surveillance and case detection, monitoring coverage of service uptake, training health workers, and communicating with the general population to generate demand and reduce misinformation.
