India needs to train its clinical staff before erecting data shields
Reported by The Hindu Sci-Tech, not nibnow. We are not the publisher of this story, only the source is.
WHY IT MATTERS
The new DPDP Act will govern how patient data is handled, so health workers need training to protect privacy and maintain care quality.
WHAT HAPPENED
User data is routinely commoditised today, and passing a law assuming compliance and waiting for complaints or litigation will not suffice. As the DPDP Act comes into effect, the government must finance, build, and sustain an ecosystem that allows every health worker to comply and patients to be able to better access care
WHAT TO WATCH
- •Government announcements on funding and training programs for health workers
- •Rollout schedule for compliance infrastructure in hospitals and clinics
- •Legal challenges or complaints that arise as the act is enforced
