Description du livre
In an age of digital globalization, navigating the complex landscape of international health data transfers presents significant challenges. This anthology delves into the intricate matrix of regulations, policies, and technologies that govern the transnational flow of health data and provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal frameworks across multiple jurisdictions.
This volume sheds light on a range of topics, spanning the multifaceted data transfer mechanisms anchored in the General Data Protection Regulation to the landmark Schrems II court decision that resulted in the invalidation of the Privacy Shield, giving rise to the new Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. These seminal events triggered reforms not just in Europe and the US but have had far-reaching effects on global policy frameworks.
In light of these developments, the book explores the contemporary regulatory shift spanning countries from the Global North and Global South. This comprehensive exploration encompasses a diverse array of nations, from the European Union, United Kingdom, United States, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, to China, Australia, Nigeria, Colombia and India. With insights from leading experts and enriched by global case studies, this collection offers a holistic view of the evolving dynamics in international health data transfers. The book provides an indispensable resource for policymakers, legal scholars, healthcare professionals, and technology enthusiasts traversing the intersection of law, ethics, and global health data in the 21st century.
