BlockSuits team has submitted recommendations to the National Health Authority, Government of India on the Draft Health Data Management Policy ('Policy') released on August 26, 2020. The Policy provides for potential regulation of health data in an interoperable manner. However, in the absence of a Personal Data Protection Act, the Policy may be deemed as a premature introduction into the data markets of India. Considering the sensitive nature of health data, it is recommended to the government to first enact an adequate data protection regime, before regulation sector specific data. The document containing our recommendations have been attached with this blog.
