Lecturers: , Annemieke Ålenius, Arild Faxvaag, Minna Maria Hernandez, Sari Palojoki
Moderator: Johanna Ulfvarson

Since 2011 the Nordic Council of Ministers (NCM) eHealth group has been active to ensure knowledge transfer between the Nordic countries and strengthen the region's global leadership in eHealth. Since then, all Nordic countries have successfully digitalized their health care systems and been active at the European and global levels. On March 26th this year the EU Regulation on the European Health Data Space (EHDS) entered into force.

What impact has the Nordic cooperation on the implementation of the EHDS?

Should it be changed (enhanced-wound up-status quo)?

Should it shift focus?

During this session, ongoing and planned activities will be presented and the audience invited to contribute with their points of view.
