Authorities by country

What each State has designated as digital health authority (Article 19), health data access body (Article 55) and contact points (Article 23 and Article 75). States notify the Commission of their access bodies by 26 March 2027 (Article 55(6)).

Status checked on 25 October 2026. No country had formally designated any of them: what exists are official announcements, draft laws and pre-EHDS bodies expected to take the role. Every entry links to its official source.
