A step towards the electronic EHIC

"A step towards the electronic European Health Insurance Card"

The NETC@RDS initiative is devoted to establish new improved health care administration services for mobile citizens across the EU. The actual phase aims at deploying e-health services via the European Health Insurance Card through a wide trans-European network simplifying health care access procedures. NETC@RDS successfully tested the electronic version of the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) during its first and second Market Validation phases in 85 pilot sites of 10 E.U. member states. The Initial Deployment phase of the project - launched on 1 June 2007 - will deploy operational services in all targeted sites, to a total of 305 service sites serving 566 service points across the 15 participating countries.
