What are MyHealth@EU services?

In the event of a medical emergency while travelling abroad, doctors can provide better care if they have access to the patient's medical history.

That is why European Union countries are setting up MyHealth@EU, cross-border online health services that enable personal health data to be securely transmitted to doctors in the country where the patient is being treated.

Benefits for patients and doctors

  • MyHealth@EU services improve patient care.
  • They facilitate the continuity of safe, high-quality care across European borders.
  • Medical data is available in the language of the treating doctor's country, removing potential language barriers.

Services available in Luxembourg

► I am a patient registered in Luxembourg 

The following documents can be sent to a doctor in another European country*:

  • patient summary
  • lab results
  • medical imaging report
  • hospital discharge letter
     
How can I benefit from this ?

I register my consent for cross-border exchange in my electronic healthcare record (Dossier de Soins Partagé - DSP). This allows doctors in other European countries to consult my documents.

► I am a patient from another European country

A doctor in Luxembourg can receive:

  • the patient summary

How can I benefit from this ?

I have given my consent for cross-border exchange in the healthcare system of my country of affiliation. The doctor in Luxembourg will inform me of my rights – they will do so based on the Patient Information Notice available at the bottom of the page. (See ‘Useful links’)
