Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Public Health Ethics
  • Global Health

Background:

  • National Health Data Warehouses (NHDWHs) are increasingly deployed in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
  • Data analytics in NHDWHs are recognized for informing health decision-making.
  • Ethical considerations for NHDWH implementation in LMICs are often overlooked.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically analyze key ethical issues associated with NHDWH implementation in LMICs.
  • To highlight challenges related to privacy, consent, data security, and governance.
  • To provide guiding principles for ethical NHDWH deployment in LMICs.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and critical analysis of ethical issues in NHDWHs.
  • Examination of challenges including privacy, informed consent, confidentiality, and data security.
  • Analysis of secondary data use, sustainability, risk-benefit, governance, justice, equity, and partnerships.

Main Results:

  • Identified significant ethical challenges in NHDWH implementation in LMICs.
  • Highlighted issues of privacy, informed consent, data security, secondary data use, and governance.
  • Emphasized the need for addressing justice, equity, access, and collaborative partnerships.

Conclusions:

  • Ethical issues in LMIC NHDWH implementation require urgent and comprehensive attention.
  • A framework of guiding principles is proposed to support ethical decision-making.
  • Responsible implementation necessitates careful consideration of diverse ethical dimensions to ensure equitable health benefits.
