Capacity Building Measures

At the onset of the pandemic only: financial support (EU Emergency Support Instrument grants) to quickly build up capacity exclusively in the 27 EU Countries – to comply with the EU DCC Regulation requirements

Engagement Model

Formal contact with the EU DCC Committee Secretariat and formal request to connect to the EU Gateway must be made at government, ministry or diplomatic level. A connection to the EU DCC system entails legal obligations on the part of the EU and it is only allowed following a legal act (Equivalence Decision). In parallel to the legal process a technical process to adopt the EU DCC standards and specifications guarantees interoperability and allows the technical onboarding to the Gateway for the exchange of public keys and the connection to become operational.

Annual budget

The annual budget for connected countries depends on the level of digitalisation of their healthcare sector, its structure and management, and its capacity and readiness to adopt interoperable standards and specifications
