Initial efforts focused on the Digital Health Center (LDVC) announcing a new e-Health portal intended to replace the current system. The portal, designed to be mobile-friendly, aims to provide personalized information regarding prescriptions, doctor appointments, and preventive examinations. A prototype was released for citizen testing to gather feedback on the interface. Subsequent developments show a broader focus on regional healthcare accessibility and digital literacy. In the Kurzeme region, officials are working toward upgrading the North Kurzeme Regional Hospital to multi-profile status by 2027, including efforts to recruit medical professionals. In the Vidzeme region, the ‘DEAHL Baltic’ project will pilot a digital health literacy e-learning program at the Strenči Psychoneurological Hospital to assist medical staff in supporting patients through digital health services. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-24: Latvia advances regional healthcare development and digital literacy Latvian regional authorities are advancing healthcare through hospital network expansions in Kurzeme and piloting digital health literacy training programs in Vidzeme. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/latvia-advances-regional-healthcare-development-and-digital-literacy ### 2026-07-26: Latvia's Digital Health Center to launch new e‑Health portal by autumn Latvia's Digital Health Center plans to roll out a new e‑Health portal by autumn, with a test version already live for public feedback. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/latvias-digital-health-center-to-launch-new-ehealth-portal-by-autumn --- Cite as: Latvia healthcare modernization and digitalization.
