Why Health Data Governance Matters
The WHO Global Strategy on Digital Health (2020–2025) underscores the importance of data governance, privacy, cybersecurity, and interoperability as essential enablers of digital transformation in healthcare. Similarly, the OECD highlights the need for secure and compliant data infrastructures to scale digital health innovation responsibly.
By convening this dialogue, HealthCare Innovation reinforces its commitment to supporting trusted, secure, and regulation-ready HealthTech ecosystems.
Looking Ahead
Following the strong engagement of Community Meetup 2.0, HealthCare Innovation will continue to organize structured dialogues and technical sessions to advance health data governance, compliance readiness, and ecosystem collaboration.
The next edition of the HCI Community Meetup will further expand these discussions and strengthen regional innovation capacity.
