Governments around the world are increasingly regulating the flow of cross-border data on the basis of privacy, security, and other public interest concerns. These aspects of global governance that do not have primary health mandates can directly or indirectly influence health determinants within countries, or drive the flow of health-relevant risks between countries.

What types of policies should developing countries adopt and advocate to safeguard their interests, especially in health care? On July 24th, join Global Access in Action (GAiA), a project of the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, for an open discussion about these increasingly important considerations. The discussion, “Global Data Flows & Implications for Health Access in Developing Countries,” organized in conjunction with the Harvard Global Health Institute, will be facilitated by GAiA Co-Director and Harvard Law School Professor Mark Lu.
