The health card could be scrapped from 1 September. What will replace it

The health card could be phased out from 1 September, according to information from Realitatea PLUS. In its place, patients will be able to use the new electronic identity card, as well as a digital platform that centralises all medical data.

The new platform, called "E-Sănătatea Mea", will be directly accessible to patients and will include medical history, issued prescriptions, referral letters, and information about reimbursed medical services. In practice, documents that patients currently receive in paper form would become available online, and could be downloaded whenever needed.

According to the head of the National Health Insurance House, the new system has been designed to be easy for patients to use.
