This event will launch the Governing health futures 2030: Growing up in a digital world (GHFutures2030) report which examines the broader societal and governance questions that emerge at the interface of digital and health transformations, particularly for children and young people who stand to inherit governance models being designed today.

The report recommends actions for governments, technology companies, and other stakeholders to deploy new tools and innovations that support universal health coverage, realise human rights, and transform health systems and services to better serve the needs of current and future generations.

The report will be a wake-up call for everyone to transform health governance in a digital world.
