The aim of the EHDS is to facilitate patients' access to their personal data and to support the exchange and sharing of health data throughout the European Union. EHDS strives to create a secure environment for data exchange that respects privacy. The initiative supports the availability of high-quality health data for research, policy-making and innovation in healthcare. EHDS emphasizes the importance of data governance, ethical principles and data protection compliance and enables the exchange of health data between stakeholders such as healthcare providers, researchers, policy makers and patients. To achieve the above objectives, the EHDS supports the use of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence and data analysis to gain knowledge and support evidence-based decision-making. How is Slovakia preparing for the implementation of the EHDS and what steps need to be taken for effective participation in this pan-European initiative? What benefits will it bring for the system and the patient? What must the new government do?
