FPF Health & Wellness: Mapping the 2024 Health Privacy Landscape, A 2023 Retrospective

In 2023, health data privacy developments were nearly all related to the continuing development of privacy law responses to the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision and subsequent moves by states to bar access to certain reproductive health care services and to criminally prosecute individuals seeking access to that care.

In this 2023 retrospective, FPF has identified the top themes of health legislation and regulation while looking ahead to 2024.
