Most French people now have a digital health record at their fingertips even if they don’t necessarily know it. More than 65 million people can now access information about their health by connecting to a site or application created by the state, the government said on Thursday. Launched at the beginning of the year, the public service called “My health space” allows French people to store hospitalization reports, test results, medical certificates, etc.

“Professionals can now consider that almost all of their patients have a digital health space,” insists Hela Ghariani, co-pilot of the deployment of this solution at the Ministry of Health.
