The European Commission and WHO launch landmark digital health initiative to strengthen global health security


The World Health Organization (WHO) and European Commission have announced today the launch of a landmark digital health partnership.  

In June 2023, WHO will take up the European Union (EU) system of digital COVID-19 certification to establish a global system that will help facilitate global mobility and protect citizens across the world from on-going and future health threats, including pandemics. This is the first building block of the WHO Global Digital Health Certification Network (GDHCN) that will develop a wide range of digital products to deliver better health for all.
