Implementation of the Regulation on the European Health Data Space (EHDS) in Croatia.

ABSTRACT

Since the European Commission has published a Proposal for a Regulation - The European Health Data Space, Croatia is actively working on the implementation. Public sector bodies including the Croatian Institute of Public Health, Ministry of Health and Croatian Health Insurance Fund play a key role in this process. The establishment of a Health Data Access Body is the main challenge in this effort. Potential challenges and obstacles in this process and projects that follow the efforts are described in this paper.
