Cooperation between the Health Data Hub and the Health Data Lab at the BfArM in setting up the European Health Data Space

In recent years, the cross-border exchange between European member states regarding the use of health data has become increasingly relevant. In order to jointly counteract the current heterogeneity and health-related challenges as well as to successively implement the vision of the European Health Data Space (EHDS) in compliance with high data protection standards, different projects with the participation of the Health Data Lab at the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) and the Health Data Hub have been initiated. This close German-French cooperation on the one hand creates synergies and examines challenges and possible solutions on a European level. On the other hand, the cooperation between both institutions promotes the cross-border exchange of knowledge and experience in order to jointly meet challenges and achieve goals at national and European levels.
