Launching Health Data Space Amsterdam
The official letter of intent and launch of Health Data Space Amsterdam (HDSA) on March 18 will be signed by the directors of three leading hospitals in our region. A wonderful success, made possible in part by the enthusiasm, support and commitment of many involved over the past several years! With this, we also bid farewell to the current steering committee and front runners, which have played an essential role in this process.
