This innovative digital platform is designed to support healthcare professionals, facility administrators, and leaders in their continuous education and training[1].

The VLH is designed with a healthcare-focused layout and features courses that align with real-world workflows. It provides accessible, up-to-date training and resources, enabling learning anytime, anywhere, on any device[1]. This responsive accessibility is crucial for expanding digital health competencies and supporting the integration of digital tools like SmartCare Pro into everyday clinical workflows[2].
The VLH also facilitates data-informed healthcare delivery by training on the use of digital records and analytics that the SmartCare Pro system provides. By equipping professionals with the skills needed to utilize digital technologies effectively, the VLH plays a key role in improving healthcare access, quality, and management across Zambia[2].
The SmartCare Pro VLH is an online platform that is a significant part of Zambia's broader push toward digitizing its healthcare sector[2]. Its launch is expected to contribute significantly to the enhancement of healthcare worker capacity, the support of digital tool integration, and the facilitation of data-informed healthcare delivery.
