The Health Sector is designated as a Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) sector by the Cyber Security Authority (CSA).

Quality is embedded within a larger global movement towards universal health coverage. This objective is addressed in Sustainable Developement Goal 3, as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO). Goal 3 aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. This global agenda explicitly sets forth the idea that quality is essential to achieving safe, effective care and improved health outcomes, especially as access to care expands (WHO, 2016).
