Abstract：
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed significant gaps in healthcare access, quality, and the urgent need for enhancing the capacity of digital health human resources, particularly in Latin America. During the pandemic, online courses and telehealth initiatives supported by governmental agencies, the Pan American Health Organization, and other public and private resources, have played a crucial role in meeting training demands. This article discusses the role of capacity building programs in digital health within the context of Latin America, with a specific focus on the Peruvian case. We highlight the development of digital health competencies and related policies, while also describing selected experiences related to capacity building in this field. Additionally, we discuss the pivotal role of collaborative partnerships among institutions and countries, emphasizing the importance of culturally relevant training programs in digital health. These initiatives have the potential to accelerate training and research opportunities in Latin America, drawing on the involvement of government agencies, non-governmental organizations, industry, universities, professional societies, and communities.
摘要：
COVID-19大流行暴露了医疗保健服务方面的巨大差距，质量,以及迫切需要提高数字卫生人力资源的能力，特别是在拉丁美洲。大流行期间,政府机构支持的在线课程和远程健康计划，泛美卫生组织,以及其他公共和私人资源，在满足培训需求方面发挥了至关重要的作用。本文讨论了拉丁美洲背景下的数字健康能力建设计划的作用，特别关注秘鲁的案子.我们强调数字卫生能力和相关政策的发展，同时还描述了与该领域能力建设有关的选定经验。此外,我们讨论了机构和国家之间合作伙伴关系的关键作用，强调数字健康文化相关培训计划的重要性。这些举措有可能加快拉丁美洲的培训和研究机会，利用政府机构的参与，非政府组织，工业,大学,专业社团,和社区。
