New York City's public hospital system, NYC Health + Hospitals, announced it will not renew its contract with Palantir after paying the company nearly $4 million since November 2023. The agreement focused on recovering insurance claims and was always intended as short-term, with Dr. Mitchell Katz testifying before the city council that an "absolute firewall" prevented Palantir from sharing information with ICE. The hospital will transition to in-house systems once the contract expires in October.

Palantir faces similar scrutiny in the UK over its £330m NHS contract amid privacy concerns. Health experts worry the company's ability to access de-identified patient data could enable "data-driven state abuses," despite Palantir denying such use would be illegal. The company continues expanding in Britain, recently securing a contract with the Financial Conduct Authority to investigate financial crime data, sparking outcry from some MPs.

Activists claim victory in the "Purge Palantir" campaign that pressured NYC's hospital system. Nurses, pro-Palestinian groups, and climate justice organizations celebrated the decision, arguing Palantir's AI systems used for immigration enforcement and military targeting shouldn't operate in healthcare. UK campaigners hope NYC's decision will fuel their own fight to terminate Palantir's NHS contract, with Medact urging institutions to make the "right choice."
