This session is for people who want to learn about what data processing and technologies are being deployed in the sector of digital health and in particular maternal, newborn and child healthcare, and ongoing research is being undertaken in this domain in the Middle East with a focus on Palestine and Jordan. The session will aim to inspire participants to identify opportunities for advocacy to ensure a rights-based approach to digital initiatives which considers the fulfilment of the right to health as well as other fundamental rights.
This panel discussion will explore the use of data and technology in the reproductive and maternal health sector with a particular focus on Palestine and Jordan.
The panellists will present their ongoing multi-disciplinary research into how gender and human rights are being considered and integrated (or not) in the design and implementation of digital maternal, newborn and child healthcare (MNCHC) initiatives in fragile settings. The presentations will outline the current policy and regulatory frameworks in place as well as primary findings emerging from engagement with the designers, users, and beneficiaries of selected digital MNCHC initiatives. The session will also reflect on the impact of Covid-19 to drive digital health and showcase ongoing advocacy efforts to ensure a rights-based approach to digital initiatives which considers the fulfilment of the right to health as well as other fundamental rights.
