Tammy Lovell is joined by Victoria Betton, Director at Peopledotcom and Hassan Chaudhury, Commercial Director at DATA-CAN, to discuss overcoming racism and discrimination in the digital health industry.
In this podcast episode, they delve into the creation of an Equity Charter spearheaded by Betton, Chaudhury, and NHS doctor Ayesha Rahim. The charter aims to establish principles against racism in the sector.
They recount the genesis of the charter at Digital Health Rewired and the subsequent online condemnation of racism and discrimination in digital health, which garnered over 1,000 signatures.
Furthermore, the founders organized a summit to develop the Equity Charter, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity in the supply chain for optimal patient care.
Chaudhury sheds light on the broader implications of anti-racism in digital health beyond procurement, and the impact on NHS organizations and employees.
