Developing principles for the governance of health data

As part of a working group, we helped to mobilise resources and promote a new set of health data governance principles. These principles were developed by over 130 civil society organisations through an inclusive, consultative process that included eight global and regional workshops and a public consultation. Our contribution included raising awareness of these principles and fostering stakeholder engagement to increase the number of endorsements. The principles are organised around three key areas: protecting people, promoting health value, and prioritising equity in the governance of health data across public health systems and policies.
