Unless there are clear rules that ensure health data is safe and private and that it can be used for the public good, there is a risk that it could be used to discriminate against certain groups. #MyDataOurHealthKE

My MP was absent during the #FinanceBill2023 voting. I hope he's working on a bill that would be see better use and protection of personal health data.
We give a lot of Health data to the government that should be used to strengthen our healthcare systems
#MyDataOurHealthKE
Tabitha Karanja and Amerix aside. There was a time I went to a hospital in Kitengela & the only question I was asked was whether I have been there before. And just like that my details were up after sharing my ID.
Has this even happened to you? #MyDataOurHealthKE
KOT OCS, Aoko and Extraction 2 aside, have you been to a hospital where they never asked for your details? Do you ever wonder where and how your data is stored?
One of this fine days, walk into that hospital and ask for your health data, you will be shocked.

🤐 The Threat of Discrimination
Our health data also contains personal and sensitive information that, if misused, can be detrimental. Discrimination based on health conditions or genetic predispositions is a concern. #MyDataOurHealthKE
Your health data is collected and stored in many places:
1. Menstrual cycle apps
2. Medical records at the hospital
3. Smartwatches
4. Pharmacy
5. Fitness/smartphone health apps
Where else do you think we can find data about your health?
#MyDataOurHealthKE
There is a huge correlation between health data and sexual and reproductive health. Safe collection of health data improves outcomes in sexual and reproductive health.

Does your smartphone have a Health app where you have some of your personal information fed into?
Or menstrual cycle apps, in case of women?

In our digital world, we are only counted if we are connected. Unfortunately many people around the world are still not digitally connected, and therefore their health needs are not being effectively addressed by health planners, medical researchers and others #MyDataOurHealthKE
💪 Strengthening Health Systems
Health data has the ability to make our healthcare systems more efficient, effective, and affordable. By analyzing data, policymakers can identify areas of improvement, allocate resources wisely, and streamline service delivery. #MyDataOurHealthKE
So what happens when you share your data with these health data apps? Are these apps safe for you? how is your data being used after sharing?
Someone tell media that they should also concentrate on doing stories on how our health data is being being used. #MyDataOurHealthKE
Gathoni Wamuchomba and Ciku Muiruri aside. What happens to your health data after sharing it? Does it ever hit you that the data could be used in something that you are not aware of? Do you think you can access that data anytime you want?
I also wonder.
#MyDataOurHealthKE
In the present world, we are most especially counted if we are connected. Unfortunately, many around the world don't receive proper health plans because they aren't digitally connected. #MyDataOurHealthKE

Tomorrow through our #MyDataOurHealthKE campaign, we will be meeting different stakeholders on health to help us find a common ground on how we can work together to achieve health data governance in Kenya.
Have you been to a hospital where they never asked for your details? Do you ever wonder where and how your data is stored?
One of these fine days, walk into that hospital and ask for your health data, you will be shocked.
