European Health Data Space: Council adopts new regulation improving cross-border access to EU health data
The Council of the EU has adopted a new law that will make it easier to exchange and access health data at EU level, paving the way for it to come into force.
The European Health Data Space (EHDS) regulation aims to improve individuals’ access to and control over their personal electronic health data, while also enabling certain data to be reused for research and innovation purposes for the benefit of European patients. It provides for a health-specific data environment that will ensure cross-border access to digital health services and products within the EU.
