Abstract

This chapter serves as an introduction to the complex contemporary regulatory landscape of international health data transfers. It emphasizes the critical role of international data sharing in healthcare, particularly in research, patient care, clinical trials, and public health initiatives. Our goal is to provide a brief examination of the advantages of international health data transfers while delving into the associated inherent risks. These risks are analyzed from various perspectives, and it is suggested they are significantly amplified when sensitive data is involved. To illustrate these risks, we offer concrete hypothetical examples that elucidate ten key risk factors, from data privacy concerns to issues related to reputation and trust. Additionally, the chapter provides a global overview of the subsequent chapters within the book, emphasizing raising awareness of regulatory considerations worldwide. We underscore the significance of conducting comprehensive transfer risk assessments, practicing due diligence, implementing safeguards, and utilizing structured transfer tools to ensure secure cross-border data transfers. These measures empower organizations to navigate the complex landscape effectively while upholding the highest standards of data privacy and security.
