Everything we need to win the fight against Covid-19 is in data

ALL of us working or dealing with data have a role to play in using our know-how and available technology to apply data in ways that will benefit humanity and tackle the world's biggest challenges - the environment, equality, education, health, and safety. We have the power to do extraordinary things with what is embedded in data.

Right now, we are living in uncertain times with the Covid-19 pandemic. Human ingenuity will be a powerful weapon in the fight, and data has the power to enable us to reach our full potential in these circumstances.

The answers to complicated questions are all there in the data. We just have to find them, while also respecting the privacy, security, and dignity of patients and healthcare workers.
