Automatic sick leave letter | Public Institutions

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

In collaboration with the software company Heisi, an automatic sick leave feature was launched in the National Public Patient portal in just a few days. Patients can temporarily decide themselves when they need to take sick leave to manage the burden on doctors and nurses.
