GPHW2022:

Achieving Health Equity through the Governance of Digital Transformations in Health

Theme: Achieving Health Equity

Date and Time: 06 April 2022 | 09:00 – 10:00 (CEST)

Event Description: Digital transformations can improve health for all people around the world. However, this is only possible if digital technologies are governed in the public interest rather than for private profit. If the design and use of digital technologies are not grounded in the health for all values – of democracy, equity, solidarity, inclusion, and human rights, we risk widening existing digital divides and gaps in health equity.

The Lancet & Financial Times Commission on Governing Health Futures 2030: Growing up in a digital world explores the convergence of digital health, artificial intelligence (AI), and other frontier technologies with UHC to support attainment of the third Sustainable Development Goal (SDG): Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages.

The Commission’s report calls for a radical rethink on digital health as well as for action in several areas to promote sustainable health futures. Its novel recommendations for a value-based framework for governing health futures will help to ensure that digital technologies are harnessed to optimise health outcomes and positively transform UHC.

Participants in this session will hear how the Commission’s report findings contribute to the global conversation on the health equity dimensions concerning the governance of health futures.
