Expanding such digital solutions will be essential to deliver better health for citizens across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>One of the key elements in the European Union&#8217;s work against the COVID-19 pandemic has been digital COVID-19 certificates. To facilitate free movement within its borders, the EU swiftly established interoperable COVID-19 certificates (entitled &#8216;EU Digital COVID-19 Certificate&#8217; or &#8216;EU DCC&#8217;). <\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rttnews.com\/3368262\/eu-who-launch-digital-health-initiative-to-strengthen-global-health-security.aspx?type=glpn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World Health Organization (WHO) and European Commission on Monday announced the launch of a landmark digital health partnership to strengthen global health security.
