Survey - on Safe & Trustworthy Governance of AI & Data in Health

[Alies Maybee]

Transform Health , an international group, has asked that we kindly contribute our feedback to this consultation the organisation is conducting on an upcoming World Health Assembly resolution. The Sultanate of Oman is leading the development of a resolution on Safe and Trustworthy Governance of Artificial Intelligence and Data in Health, co-sponsored by China, Egypt, Somalia, Switzerland, and Tunisia, with a view to consideration by WHO Member States at the 80th World Health Assembly in May 2027. This builds on the strong political support and convergence among Member States during this year’s 79th World Health Assembly in May 2026.

Transform Health has been tasked with conducting an independent multi-stakeholder consultation to gather views from a diverse range of stakeholders on the proposed resolution. A summary report of key themes, priorities, and recommendations will be shared with Member States as one source of stakeholder input for their consideration.

They want to capture community perspectives on why equitable and inclusive data / data governance is the foundation for responsible and equitable AI.

They feel that some organisations seem to think that we can go straight for a AI resolution and framework when we haven’t solved this most fundamental piece yet and there are no guardrails in place on health specific data governance. Transform Health is advocating for the resolution to cover both AI and data governance in health.

Here is the survey. The deadline to respond is October 30.
