● Supporting governments in adopting Digital Public Goods (DPGs) for sustainable, interoperable service delivery

● Building ecosystems that enable innovation, collaboration, and long-term platform stewardship.

Within public health, eGov works on multiple DIGIT- and CARE-based digital health platforms, including health campaign management systems, hospital management systems (HMIS), critical care platforms, and population-scale public health solutions. These platforms support real-time clinical workflows, program execution, reporting, and decision-making for large government health initiatives across India and global geographies.

DIGIT- and CARE-based solutions have benefited over 160+ million citizens, with deployments across 10+ countries, thousands of cities, and healthcare facilities worldwide.

If you are passionate about building technology that strengthens public health systems and delivers impact at population scale, we invite you to work with us.
