LIRNEasia has partnered with the Information Communication Technology Agency of Sri Lanka (ICTA) to draft a discussion paper on a health data protection policy for Sri Lanka. We were happy to share some preliminary thoughts on this collaborative work last week with the broader medical community. The talk was part of the Sri Lanka Medical Association’s Digital Health Week, a week-long set of events, presentations and panels attended by both Sri Lankan as well as international participants.

The presentation covered the structure of the proposed discussion paper on health data protection policy and touched upon the issues of cyber security, among other things.
