In November 2024, Data Saves Lives celebrated its five-year anniversary event in Brussels. The two-day event provided an opportunity to reflect on the DSL journey of empowering health communities through data literacy. It brought together key stakeholders to discuss the progress made and explore the future of health data sharing in healthcare.
The event welcomed over 130 participants, primarily from patient organisations, along with EU and International representatives, health professionals, industry representatives, and university representatives.
