We are facing two challenges in the Czech Republic that may also be relevant for other countries in Central and Eastern Europe. The first is related to the infrastructure for e-health and, more broadly, digitisation.

The second is the availability of health data for secondary use, such as research, measuring quality and safety, and understanding what is happening in the healthcare system.
