Global Launch of Digital Health Certificate to Strengthen Health Security.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and European Commission have launched a digital health partnership 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. WHO will take up the European Union (EU) system of digital COVID-19 certification in June 2023 to develop a wide range of digital products to deliver better health for all. The initiative follows the 30 November 2022 agreement between Commissioner Kyriakides and Dr Tedros to enhance strategic cooperation on global health issues.
