The President of the National e-Health Authority, Professor Christos N. Schizas, will travel to Brussels on Thursday, 13 July 2023, where he will participate in a meeting of the Council of the European Union to continue the discussion on the European Health Data Space Regulation. According to the Regulation, it will define, among other things, the specifications and content of the single electronic health record of the citizen at European level.
It should be noted that Cyprus is a pioneer in the field of eHealth with the eHealth Law and the establishment of the National eHealth Authority, which is also provided for in the Regulation, and with the adoption of the Regulation, all Member States will be invited to establish similar independent authorities.
It should be noted that Cyprus is a pioneer in the field of eHealth with the eHealth Law and the establishment of the National eHealth Authority, which is also provided for in the Regulation and with its adoption all Member States will be invited to establish similar independent authorities. In this area Cyprus, as a Member State, offers expertise and pilot applications.
The ongoing plan of the National e-Health Authority is the creation and operation of a single electronic health record, which will be accessible on a 24-hour daily basis, wherever it is needed, either from Cyprus or from abroad. The electronic file, owned by the citizen, will contain all the necessary medical information of the citizen for the immediate information of the health care provider when and if needed.
eHealth is called upon to address challenges such as, among others, equality of access to healthcare, cross-border care, efficient use of the services offered in a General Health System, enhancing the quality of healthcare services, and avoiding waste of resources.
