  • Utilizing the technological competence of the European Union(EU), the WHO has advanced the "Global Digital Health Certification Network (GDHCN)."

  • GDHCN would serve as an online digital database of the citizen's health records for the WHO member states. 

  • The EU used its digital certificate system during COVID-19 to fight the pandemic and make international travel easy.  

  • The convergence of all the records into one shared repository would serve as a source to deliver better health services to all the member states without the WHO having access to individual data.

  • GDHCN will also focus on ensuring equitable access to low and middle-income countries.
