🌐💻 Digitalisation of health systems has led to more health data being produced and stored. Developing a set of minimum standards for stronger #HealthDataGovernance must be prioritised!
📹 Today on #DataPrivacyDay learn why @trans4m_health is advocating for an #HDG framework
Important #EB154 statement! Several Member States showed their support for this agenda at #WHA76, have written to @WHO & have endorsed the healthdataprinciples.org. #DigitalHealth transformation and #AI advances highlight even more why we need action on #HealthDataGovernance now!
🗣 @trans4m_health & @PATHtweets made a joint statement at @WHO's #EB154, emphasising the need for stronger #HealthDataGovernance for #UHC

Great to hear @DrTedros highlighting the role of technology and #DigitalHealth in moving us towards #UHC during #EB154. This is an important area that must be central to discussions on #UHC progress. However part of this must be action to strengthen #HealthDataGovernance.

And endorse the #equity and #rights based healthdataprinciples.org as a foundation for stronger regulation.

As we celebrate #UHCDay, remember that achieving #UHC2030 won't be possible without #digitaltransformation of #health. We need to stop working in silos (technical vs political + health verticals) and consider #digitaltransformation an approach to delivering better #HealthForAll!
Donors, development partners & private sector should improve, better coordinate & align investment with national priorities 👉transformhealthcoalition.org…
Civil society should engage in #DigitalHealth transformation & hold decisions makers & funders accountable for action/investment.
