EC allows Poland to use cross-border e-prescription
The European Commission has given Poland a green light to join the group of countries which can exchange cross-border electronic prescriptions. Such prescriptions allow EU citizens to obtain their medication in a pharmacy located in another EU country.
The approval of the European Commission is the first step toward enabling Poles to use their e-prescriptions in other EU countries, whereas EU residents will be able to buy medicines in Polish pharmacies.
“Soon Poles will be able to buy their medicines abroad with an electronic document," the e-Health Centre told PAP.
