Support Science: WHO Calls for Digital Technology in Healthcare

«Support science,» the World Health Organization makes a global call to recognize scientific evidence and digital technology as pillars of modern health systems. Local experience shows that digital health ensures effective, equitable, and accessible decisions for everyone. Urgency or emergency? The difference is vital and determines the fate of medical resources. From the first contact, the line becomes the axis of response to any critical situation. The heart of this process is the medical triage performed by C5 operators specializing in pre-hospital care, who apply a rigorous questionnaire to establish the priority level of each patient: risk of death, an urgency that requires prompt medical evaluation, or situations that, although concerning to the user, can be resolved through remote advice without mobilizing a mobile medical unit. A fundamental assessment to avoid saturation in hospitals. C5 data indicates that during the first quarter of 2026, 475,606 incidents were recorded, which led to the dispatch of 419,678 emergency resources. That clarity begins with a call to 911, three digits that open the door to a technological system where Telemedicine has become a filter to save lives. Health-related emergencies find an ally in digital technology in moments of uncertainty. The first is a condition to be attended to after a few minutes of evaluation; the second deals with an imminent risk of death and demands immediate maneuvers. Understanding this distinction is the first step for the health system to function correctly. Under the motto «Together for health». The most relevant of these figures is the trend towards optimization: a 10% decrease in the registration of incidents and a 21% decrease in the dispatch of physical resources compared to the previous year has been observed. This advance takes on special meaning in the framework of World Health Day.
