European Health Data Space (EHDS)

The European Health Data Space (EHDS) is an initiative by the European Union aimed at creating a secure environment for sharing health data across member countries. It allows for better access to medical information for patients and healthcare providers, improving health research, treatments, and public health responses. The EHDS aims to enhance the use of health data while ensuring privacy and security, enabling innovations in healthcare and supporting policy-making. By standardizing how health data is shared, the EHDS aims to improve health outcomes for all Europeans.
