The group has been active over the past 4 years, and formalized as a separate work stream in 2021. Since 2022 the group has been co-led by AmCham and the Digital Health Association, represented by Kristaps Krafte. Among the main achievements of the work group have been the organization of two data summits (2020 and 2021) together with the Ministry of Health and NHS, driving the creation and adoption of the State Digital Health Strategy, maintaining regular dialogue with key stakeholders on behalf of the industry and various communication efforts with society-at-large.

Huge thanks for putting forward your candidacies and willingness to invest extra time and effort to continue the great work of the group!

The subgroup's next meeting is scheduled for October 31.
