James.

I and colleagues from transformhealthcoalition.org presented at the UN World Data Forum in Hangzhou, China, in 2023.

The next UN World Data Forum will be held in Riyaidh, Saudi Arabia next Autumn on the 10th and 11th of Novembe. I will forward the details to HIFA.

It may be worth stressing that the forum is about data and not about information. We touch the difference between data, information, knowledge, understanding, and wisdom in a series of articles that we hope to have published in an international medical journal.
