Launched in 2016, Babyl was Rwanda’s premier digital health consultation service. In 2020, they partnered with the Rwandan Government to develop a “Digital-First Integrated Care” model, enabling access to healthcare via mobile phones. By 2023, they provided over 3,000 daily virtual consultations to over 2.5 million users. Unfortunately, they ceased operations the same year due to parent company Babylon’s bankruptcy. This document seeks to share some clear and easy-to-digest lessons learned from the activities of Babyl in Rwanda.
The digital transformation of health involves numerous interconnected health systems, processes, and data, making it a highly complex endeavor.

This blog summarizes the key takeaways of the DCCC’s panel discussion, hosted during the Digital Health Week 2022.
The DCCC is happy to announce their endorsement of the Health Data Governance Principles. These Health Data Governance Principles cover (1) the protection of individuals and communities (2) promotion of health value, and (3) the equitable representation in data for all. The DCCC, as a global coalition united in our shared commitment to accelerating the digital transformation of healthcare, for achieving universal health coverage, recognize that a global, standardized set of health data principles is central to our mission. The use of health data from our parents and other people before us brought our medical insights to where we are today. Standing on their shoulders, we can further develope healthcare for us and our children and make it more inclusive and beneficial for all. To foster inclusive and meaningful health innovation, we need to build trust and create a level playing field for all those partners contributing to improving healthcare in an inclusive manner. The health data governance principles bring us a step closer to better, more inclusive, and safer digital health.
That is why the DCCC endorses the health data governance principles and encourages our member organizations, and others, to join us in doing so!
