Ministerul Sănătății vrea să schimbe modul în care sunt gestionate datele medicale: registrele de sănătate ar urma să intre într-un sistem unitar (Op-ed)

The Ministry of Health proposes a new framework for national health registers in Romania, aiming to create a unified medical data infrastructure. This initiative seeks to replace fragmented systems with common rules for data collection, access, governance, and protection. Patients may benefit from easier access to their medical history, reducing redundant investigations, while authorities could base public health policies on more comprehensive data. The proposed legislation outlines the types of data to be collected, including patient identification and health-related information, and aims to align with GDPR standards. The project could significantly enhance patient care and inform better public health decisions.
