European Union member states continue to expand and maintain cross-border digital health data and e-prescription exchange systems. Estonia and Cyprus recently launched a collaborative system allowing citizens to use domestic digital prescriptions and access patient health summaries, such as diagnoses and allergies, in pharmacies across both nations.

As these networks grow, technical maintenance affects service availability. For instance, scheduled upgrades to the European cross-border e-health data exchange platform are expected to cause temporary outages for Latvian residents seeking to access e-prescriptions or health data in participating EU countries.
