CDTO Campus Launches Digital Health Governance Faculty with Five New Programs
The educational initiative CDTO Campus has announced the launch of a new faculty dedicated to Digital Health Governance, aiming to equip healthcare managers, system administrators, developers, and medical institution leaders with the skills needed to effectively implement digital tools, protect data, and manage projects within the health sector.
The programmes were developed jointly with teams from Ukraine’s Ministry of Health (MH), the National Health Service of Ukraine (NHSU), and the state enterprise «eHealth» with support from the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and the Eastern Europe Fund.
Five Core Programmes of the Digital Health Governance Faculty
- Practical Project Management in Healthcare: A systemic approach to managing timelines, resources, and inter‑agency collaboration in projects led by MH, NHSU and state institutions.
- Effective Digital Teams in Healthcare: Training on building sustainable work practices, stakeholder negotiations, patient‑centric services, and crisis management.
- Cybersecurity and Protection of Healthcare IT Infrastructure: A two‑day practical intensive for information‑security professionals, covering asset inventory to incident‑response algorithms.
- Cybersecurity for Healthcare Leaders: A one‑day course for chief physicians and their deputies on establishing cyber‑security policies and preparing for crisis situations.
- Web Accessibility in Healthcare: A specialized programme for developers and UI/UX designers of medical information systems focused on creating inclusive interfaces compliant with WCAG standards for users with visual or motor impairments.
Target Audience, Format and Expected Outcomes
- Project Management – aimed at project managers of MH, NHSU, eHealth; practical intensive format; key outcomes: resource, risk and stakeholder management.

Impact on Healthcare Digital Transformation
The CEO of CDTO Campus and Diia.Education, Ruslana Korenchuk, emphasized that digital solutions in healthcare directly affect the speed of care delivery and patient safety.
- Protection of Medical Data – increasing resilience of medical information systems and hospital networks against hostile cyber attacks and phishing.
- Inclusivity of Services – adapting medical web portals and applications for veterans and people with visual or motor impairments.
- Community Building – forming a professional community of eHealth specialists for experience sharing and process standardisation.
Xpert Take
The launch of CDTO Campus’s Digital Health Governance faculty signals a growing recognition that successful digital transformation in healthcare hinges on skilled governance rather than technology alone. By focusing on project management, cybersecurity, team dynamics and accessibility, the programmes address the most common pitfalls—poor coordination, insufficient data protection, and exclusionary design—that derail eHealth initiatives worldwide. For Ukraine, where wartime pressures accelerate the need for resilient health services, this initiative could become a model for other nations seeking to rebuild or modernize their health systems through competent, security‑aware leadership. Expect increased demand for similar training programmes across Europe as governments prioritize cyber‑resilient, inclusive digital health infrastructures.
