To fully harness the potential of data to improve health outcomes, while protecting from data misuse, it is vital that governments come together to strengthen the rules that govern data collection and use. A global health data governance regulatory framework, endorsed by governments through a World Health Assembly Resolution, would do just that by establishing a set of minimum standards which would inform national legislation, while also governing health data sharing across countries. This is vital to improve public trust in health data systems, foster data use for public good, improve health emergency response and further global health goals.

Action on this pressing issue cannot wait. We must seize this opportunity to unlock the strength of data to deliver health for all at the upcoming World Health Assembly and across key discussions in the year ahead. Join Transform Health in our call for a global health data governance frameworks.
