On Friday, December 6, Mahsa Shabani, from the Law Centre for Health and Life, was a keynote speaker at the “Study Day Health Information and Policy” in Brussels, Belgium. The event, organized by Sciensano, focused on the theme: “How can we maximise the potential of data linkages for health policy and research?” Shabani’s presentation, “Towards the implementation of the EHDS across Member States: Expected Challenges and Opportunities,” explored critical aspects of the European Health Data Space (EHDS). Her talk highlighted the challenges and opportunities in harmonizing health data policies across EU member states.

Physician | Healthcare research, policy + systems. Working toward a future filled with healthier people on a healthier and fairer planet
An interesting high level discussion hosted by EUPHA - European Public Health Association and European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies with WHO Regional Office for Europe Hans Kluge on "Is public health relevant in the new world?" The short answer is...of course! Hard to disagree with anything that was said. But I will say this. There seems to be an overemphasis on improving communication in public health without sufficient acknowledgement of the many forces that are countering that communication. In a post-COVID world where we have seen the impact of misinformation and disinformation, it doesn't matter how well you communicate something, there will be a group of people who are uninterested and unpersuaded by scientific facts and rational argument. We need to move to evidence based interventions that tackle disinformation and misinformation. Without that we are hanging onto a concept of health uniting people, when what we see around the world is health dividing people.
