Description

What is the public problem that the commitment will address? E-health is a particularly sensitive issue. This developing sector directly handles the personal and intimate data of citizens. Regulating the e-health sector and ensuring health data governance requires political consensus, factoring in technological, economic and ethical interests. In addition to the necessary consultation of health professionals and patient associations, direct civic participation in discussions will help to make sectorspecific issues understandable to all. These contributions will directly reinforce the Ministry for Health’s road map on this subject.

What is the commitment? Set up a citizens’ committee including citizens and representatives from patient associations. Operating in the form of consensus-based meetings, this committee will have to produce opinions and recommendations on issues relating to the expansion of technology in the healthcare sector. Meeting annually to address emerging issues, the committee will provide input that will spur on this public policy’s development.

How will the commitment contribute to solving the public problem? Objective: Consideration of the direct contribution of citizens in determining a public policy. 1. Launch of the citizens’ committee: October 2021 2. Publication of the December 2021 citizens’ 111 committee opinion

Why is this commitment relevant to OGP values? This commitment strengthens direct civic participation in building a public policy.
