Why is Data Privacy & Security important?
Healthcare is a highly data-intensive business. Any data breach of sensitive patient information would not only erode our patients’ trust in us and compromise our reputation, it will, more critically, also affect our ability to deliver quality care.
At IHH Healthcare, we use data for research, innovation, business and operations improvement, business development and investment purposes, which ultimately helps us save lives and advance medical care.
