BHPSA   seeks to address two key health problems. Firstly, the rising burden of  lifestyle or Non–Communicable Diseases (NCDs) - chiefly cardiovascular diseases (heart, hypertension), diabetes, cancer and chronic respiratory diseases. Secondly, the variable quality of healthcare in South Africa,   and sub-optimal levels of care contributing to infection, injury, disability or premature death. As the lead of the digital health workstream, Jembi is providing technical assistance in two focus areas: i) to strengthen national NCD surveillance systems within the health information system in South Africa   in the public health sector, and ii) to support the OHSC through the integration of their information systems and capacity building.
