Data for Health Equity: Unlocking Health for All
Events
The event, co-organized by the Rockefeller Foundation and UNICEF, will focus on the potential of data advances to drive progress on the world’s top health challenges, and the specific obstacles we’ll face in activating this digital revolution. The event will feature a multisector panel allowing policy-makers, public health advocates and tech leaders to share ideas and raise timely concerns about the emerging field of digital health. The GFF will participate in a panel discussion on data and digital health solutions.
On the heels of the UN High-Level Meeting on Universal Health Coverage, this event presents an opportunity to emphasize the importance of data for achieving health equity and promote dialogue amongst world leaders, global health professionals, and innovators at the forefront of predictive analytics, program implementation and data sharing. Speaker programming will be followed by a reception with light fare, drinks and networking.
The event will stream via events on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter (video will stream live from @RockefellerFdn).
