Weโ€™re back together today for the Post-Coโ€‘Design Workshop Feedback Session on Road Safety Workflows with FHIR, led by the Standards and Interoperability Lab - Philippines (SILโ€‘PH) under the UP Manila National Telehealth Center (NTHC).

This session builds on the momentum from the June co-design workshop where health, transport, emergency, and local government stakeholders came together to map out workflows and align on minimum data sets for road safety, using global health data standards like HL7ยฎ FHIRยฎ.

Weโ€™re grateful to all our partners from DOH, DOT, MMDA, LGUs, academia, civil society, and development agencies who continue to support this important work. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Together, we move toward a shared goal: building safer roads and stronger health systems through data, collaboration, and purpose.
