The World Health Organization will use the European Union's digital Covid certificate to launch a global digital certification system. This future system should help facilitate mobility and protect citizens around the world from current and future health threats.
WHO will not have access to personal data, to which only the authorities will have access. The network could also play a crucial role in cross-border humanitarian situations by ensuring people's access to their medical records when crossing borders due to conflict, climate crisis or other emergencies. "The Covid-19 pandemic has shown the importance of digital health solutions to facilitate access to health services," says Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
