Why the name change?

Because we have evolved, and have a renewed identity! ECHAlliance is now officially Global Health Connector, reflecting the truly global nature of our work and community.

Historically, the Digital Health Society (DHS) was the data and digital arm of ECHAlliance. With our rebranding, we are also renaming the summit to better represent this exciting new chapter.

The Global Health Connector Digital Summit will take place on 18-19 November 2025 virtually!
