In this special episode of the Transform Health Youth Network Podcast, recorded in the lead-up to International Women’s Day, we explore the role of young women in shaping digital health governance and why intergenerational leadership is essential for building inclusive health systems. Hosted by Lilian Mbuthi, Youth Partnerships & Admin Officer, Transform Health, the conversation brought together Yona May Rahayu, Digital Health Coalition Lead for Transform Health Indonesia, and Sekar Putri Andriani, Youth Council member representing Indonesia. Together, they reflect on the growing influence of youth leadership in digital health and the urgent need to ensure that women and young people have a voice in how health data and digital systems are designed, governed and used. The discussion explores critical issues including: • Why health data rights and privacy protections matter for women and girls • The risks of algorithmic bias in AI-driven health systems • How the digital divide and gaps in digital literacy can deepen inequalities • Why intergenerational collaboration between youth advocates and senior leaders is essential for progress • The role of young women as advocates, innovators and decision-makers in the digital health ecosystem Learn more about Transform Health: https://transformhealthcoalition.org Follow Transform Health for more insights on digital health, health data governance and universal health coverage.
