Let's Talk Digital Season2.Ep 1: Economic Barriers, Privacy Risks& Safety Concerns in Digital Health

In today's digital world, health information is often just a click away—but is everyone truly able to access it safely? In this episode of Let's Talk Digital, we explore how economic inequality, expensive internet data, shared devices, and privacy concerns are preventing many Ghanaians from accessing essential digital health services. For many young people, women, people living with HIV, female sex workers, and sexual minorities, digital health isn't just about owning a smartphone. It's about whether they can search for health information without fear of being exposed, stigmatised, discriminated against, or placed in danger. In this episode, we discuss: ✅ The real cost of digital access beyond smartphone ownership ✅ How expensive data affects access to health information ✅ The risks of sharing or borrowing phones ✅ Privacy challenges in digital health ✅ How stigma influences online health-seeking behaviour ✅ Why vulnerable communities face greater digital risks ✅ The responsibilities of governments and digital service providers ✅ Practical solutions for making digital health safer, more affordable, and more inclusive Featuring insightful conversations with: 🎤 Najat Seidu 🎤 Isaac Nyarko 🎤 Diana Wahab 🎤 Cyprian Awiah This conversation is part of ongoing efforts to promote digital health, human rights, and inclusive digital governance for young people in Ghana. 💬 We'd love to hear from you: How can Ghana make digital health safer, more private, and accessible for everyone?
