Remember we promised that DSFP 6.0 would be health-centric? Well, we're living up to that promise! 😊 Still on Week 3, our fellows continued exploring the intersection of data science and healthcare, this time taking a closer look at how the Longitudinal Study protects patients' privacy during the photographic capture of National Health Management Information System (NHMIS) registers. Bashir Abdulraheem facilitated the sessions, with Fatima Abubakar co-facilitating. Health data is not just numbers, records, and registers. It represents real people, and protecting their privacy must remain central to how we collect, manage, and use it. #ClickOnKadunaDSFP #HealthData #DataPrivacy #DataForImpact

Recognizing the importance of ethical research and reliable data, our DSFP 6.0 fellows participated in an engaging session on the ethical approval process and data quality measures. Facilitated by Usman Danjuma, the session explored the processes and considerations for securing ethical approval for research, as well as the measures needed to ensure data quality, accuracy, and reliability. It was another opportunity for fellows to appreciate that credible research goes beyond collecting data; it requires ethical standards, rigorous processes, and a commitment to producing evidence that can be trusted and used to inform decisions. #ClickOnKadunaDSFP #DataQuality #ResearchEthics #DataForImpact

It was a delight to see the passion with which our DSFP 6.0 fellows debated the legality, or otherwise, of the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica scandal. What began as a discussion of the case quickly opened up deeper conversations around data privacy, consent, ownership, accountability, and the ethical responsibilities of those who work with data. The case study got our fellows thinking beyond the technical aspects of data science, challenging them to consider the real-world consequences of how personal information is collected, accessed, and used. One thing was made clear to our fellows, being a data professional is not just about knowing what to do with data, but also understanding what is right to do with it. #ClickOnKadunaDSFP #DataEthics #DataGovernance #DataForImpact

📸 DSFP 6.0 | New Week, New Module! 🚀 This week, our fellows are diving into Data Governance and Ethics, exploring the critical responsibility that comes with collecting, managing, sharing, and using data. Facilitated by Dr. Ibrahim, the session focuses on protecting data privacy and upholding ethical standards in data management. Beyond knowing how to work with data, being a responsible data professional means protecting it, respecting privacy, and ensuring it is used ethically. Another week of learning, growing, and building the skills to make data count! #ClickOnKadunaDSFP #DataGovernance #DataEthics #DataForImpact
