The European ePrescription makes medical care easier for travellers

The aim of the European ePrescription is to ensure the continuity of care and safe medical treatment for citizens moving around Europe. If a person needs medicine while they are in another European country, they can buy it from a pharmacy in that country.

Prescription data can be shared securely and efficiently using the shared digital services. A European ePrescription also supports the overall management of the patient's medication.
