flag A global health initiative calls for open, secure healthcare data systems to ensure patient safety during conflicts.

flag Black Book Market Research has launched a global initiative for a 2026 Global Health System Connectivity Compact, urging healthcare IT vendors to create a neutral, standards-based infrastructure to ensure patient data continuity during conflict and recovery. flag The 2026 "State of Global Healthcare Technology" report, covering 147 countries and 70+ vendors, highlights that in war-affected regions like Gaza, Somalia, Ethiopia, and others, healthcare IT often fails first due to power instability, connectivity loss, workforce displacement, and weak security, leading to misidentification, medication errors, and disrupted care. flag The report identifies a recurring "four-knockout" pattern that collapses digital systems and warns against fragmented, proprietary solutions that risk creating data silos. flag The Compact calls for open interfaces, FHIR-enabled exchange, offline-first workflows, and cyber-hardened systems to maintain safe, interoperable care during crises, positioning interoperability as a public good essential to patient safety in fragile settings.
