Cyprus is rapidly integrating with the European Union‘s cross-border electronic healthcare system, enabling citizens to access medical services across 16 member states through shared digital health records.
The electronic connection of medical data between Cyprus and Luxembourg has been completed, with Greece scheduled to join the network in July. Estonia will follow, then all remaining participating countries.
The “MyHealth@EU” network includes Cyprus, Greece, Estonia, Czech Republic, Spain, Finland, France, Croatia, Ireland, Lithuania, Latvia, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal and Poland.
Initially, cross-border electronic healthcare encompasses brief medical histories and prescription processing, which doctors register in the system. The Cyprus-Luxembourg connection has completed necessary testing and is available to citizens.
Emergency healthcare access expanded
Cypriot citizens travelling to Luxembourg can now access their medical history during emergencies to receive healthcare services or execute prescriptions registered by their doctors in Cyprus. Luxembourg citizens visiting Cyprus have the same capability.
The system requires patient consent before any healthcare provider can access personal medical data, ensuring privacy protection whilst enabling emergency care.
Cross-border electronic healthcare is scheduled to expand in 2026 to include significant medical documents such as laboratory and imaging test results, hospital reports and discharge summaries.
Mobile app planned for 2026
The National Electronic Health Authority will provide details on system usage, citizen rights, obligations and compensation procedures where applicable.
A national mobile application called “MyHealthAPP” is expected to launch in 2026, further expanding digital healthcare access for citizens.
Healthcare providers will only access cross-border medical data with explicit patient consent, ensuring privacy whilst enabling potentially life-saving information sharing during medical emergencies abroad.
The phased rollout approach allows technical infrastructure testing between countries before expanding to the full network of participating EU member states.
