International Transfers of Health Data

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