Welcome to 2026.

As the new year begins, we reflect with appreciation on the collaborations, commitment, and collective purpose that continue to advance stronger health systems across the world.

In 2026, we move forward with fresh momentum, supporting care, enabling data-driven solutions, and strengthening pathways to equitable access to health.

Thank you for walking this journey with us. Here’s to another year of meaningful impact and lasting change.

Wishing you a purposeful and impactful 2026.

Our shared goal is clear, to enhance measurable health outcomes for people living with diabetes through early detection, patient empowerment, and strengthened provider capacity.

At Medtronic LABS, we remain committed to advancing equitable, technology enabled care models that support individuals, families, and health systems, because everyone deserves the opportunity to live healthier lives. Thank you to the Ministry of Health, Ghana and Ghana Health Service

At Medtronic LABS, we recognize that diabetes doesn’t have an age limit, it can affect anyone, from childhood through the reproductive years, working age and older adulthood. This year’s theme, “Diabetes across life stages,” highlights the importance of ensuring that everyone, at every stage of life, has access to quality care, supportive environments and the tools to manage their health with dignity.

Through our digital health solutions and primary health care-based programs, we continue to empower individuals and health systems to prevent, detect and manage non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, driving progress towards the global diabetes coverage targets by 2030.

Let’s continue to raise awareness, champion access, and build resilient systems that support healthier lives at every stage. 💙

BRAC and , together with and our other partners, co-hosted a high-level side event at focused on “Transforming Primary Healthcare – Bangladesh’s Blueprint.” It was our privilege to welcome Professor Muhammad Yunus, Chief Adviser (Bangladesh), as our guest of honor.



At the event, we delved into how digital innovation and public-private collaboration are driving equitable access to primary healthcare, both in Bangladesh and beyond. Together, we are working toward a future in which quality healthcare reaches every community. 💙

Decentralizing NCD Care Through Primary Health Systems
Bringing NCD care closer to communities changes lives.

Through the Empower Health program, hypertension and diabetes services were decentralized to 164 primary health care sites, as part of a network of 245 facilities that enrolled 89,000+ patients.

Results:
Blood pressure control at health centers & dispensaries nearly doubled over 12 months, improving from 32% to 63%.
Average systolic blood pressure reduced by 12.9 mmHg.
When equipped with digital tools, training and basic infrastructure, primary health care can deliver high-quality NCD care, with outcomes matching or exceeding higher-tier facilities.

Overcoming Clinical Inertia with Digital Nudges

Tackling NCDs requires tackling clinical inertia, the failure to intensify treatment when needed.

Using digital nudges through the SPICE platform across 4 African countries, the program generated 2,449 treatment alerts and 1,193 lab reminders.

Impact:
59% of alerts led to medication adjustments.
Patients whose treatment was intensified were 3x more likely to achieve glycemic control (34% vs. 12%).

Clinicians called the system a “second pair of eyes,” reinforcing the role of decision support in standardizing care and improving outcomes.

We started with one question: if we built health systems today for people, what would they look like?

Across six pieces, Rewired answers: unbundle and rebundle around journeys, make outcomes computable, align payments to verified results, steward shared infrastructure, and embed AI as the learning layer.

The finale brings it together as SmartCare PHC—not a one-size blueprint, but an adaptable framework and practical path. Shared profiles. Workflow engine. Knowledge library. Trusted registries. Resource insight. Payment rails. Open interfaces. Start small, prove value, scale.

Read the closer, then the full series and tell us how you’d adapt it in your context.

Fragmented tech won’t fix health systems. It only works when we can steer it.
AI won’t fix them either unless it’s rewired into the operating system so the system learns.

That’s the punchline of Rewired 5–6:
• Stewardship at scale sets clear roles, rules, and accountability.
• AI as the learning layer updates protocols, flags risk, forecasts demand, and supports teams—on shared rails with equity and privacy built in.

Result: fewer blind spots, faster course-correction, better decisions every cycle.

Primary care doesn’t scale on good intentions. It scales on coordination you can manage and outcomes you can verify.

Articles 3–4 of Rewired show the shift:

First, build the operating backbone, one longitudinal record, handoffs that close, tracked referrals, real-time readiness.

Then, make outcomes count, use routine data for equitable allocation, verify results from day-to-day care, and align payments to completion and sustained control.

Net effect: fewer patients lost, faster diagnosis and control, steadier supply, and payment flows that are timely, predictable, and tied to verified results.

Up Next:

Article 5 on national rollout and governance.
Article 6: AI as the learning layer adapting protocols, predicting demand, and augmenting teams on shared rails, with equity and privacy built in.

Programs are vertical. Lives are not.

Article 2 of Rewired shows how to connect programs
into patient journeys so care actually flows.

What changes:
• One patient profile across settings
• Shared workflows and registries
• Navigation and follow-up that close the loop
• Metrics that track journey completion, not just
outputs

What improves:
• Safety and continuity
• Fewer duplicate visits and tests
• Less burden on health workers
• Equity and trust

If we rebuilt healthcare today, would we
rebuild institutions or design for people?

This new World Economic Forum feature makes the
case to unbundle the monoliths and rebundle care
around real patient journeys.

Three shifts that matter:

• From apps to architecture
• From programmes to journeys
• From activity to outcomes

Low and Middle-income countries (LMICs) can
leapfrog by adopting open, shared infrastructure:
common profiles, workflows, knowledge, and payment
rails.

Result: care that flows and costs that fall.

Start here to Read the feature + the full Rewired
series.

And this is just the beginning, check back tomorrow
for Article 2 of the series.
