Building a movement to improve digital health governance
We played an integral role in supporting the Lancet & Financial Times Commission on "Growing up in a digital world: Governing health futures 2030" in developing a clear set of recommendations focused on digital health governance, with a specific emphasis on ensuring that youth voices were represented and amplified. This involved undertaking a range of policy, research, and advocacy activities aimed at identifying key issues and challenges related to digital health governance and engaging with stakeholders to develop solutions.
Additionally, we were responsible for developing the youth engagement strategy, which included a series of engagement sessions aimed at producing a youth statement and call for action, and Lancet commentary that reflected the perspectives and priorities of young people. Finally, we planned and hosted events at conferences and high-level meetings to disseminate the Commission's recommendations and raise awareness about the importance of engaging youth in digital health governance. Overall, our efforts helped to ensure that the voices of young people were heard and incorporated into the Commission's final recommendations, which have the potential to shape the future of digital health governance.
