Zambia’s health data governance is regulated by several key frameworks such as the Data Protection Act 2021, the Health Data Governance Framework 2024, the Cyber Security and Cyber Crimes Act No. 2 of 2021, and the Zambia National Public Health Act No.19 of 2020. These aim to standardise data management, ensure privacy, and promote interoperability. However, gaps exist in leadership and governance, investment and sustainability, workforce development, legal and policy frameworks, interoperability, ICT infrastructure and services integration. Recommendations include establishing a national steering committee, developing a financing plan for digital health technologies, and creating an interoperability framework.
