The governance of the Digital Health Network (RSN) is based on a clear, transparent, and collaborative structure designed to ensure scientific rigor, strategic alignment, and the active participation of its members.<\/p>

Under the scientific leadership, and with the contribution of the co-directors, the RSN is structured around a Members\u2019 Assembly, a Steering Committee, a management team, a Scientific Committee, a Student Committee, as well as internal and external advisory committees. This architecture frames decision-making processes, ensures responsible resource management, and guarantees alignment between the network\u2019s thematic axes, foundational principles, and action areas.<\/p>

In accordance with its Charter, the RSN maintains effective and accountable governance that fosters collaboration across institutions, strengthens scientific visibility, and supports knowledge mobilization for the benefit of end-user communities and civil society.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
