Austria goes live on MyHealth@EU with first corridor to Czech Republic

Austria activated its MyHealth@EU services on 25 February 2026, launching both the EU-Rezept cross-border ePrescription and the EU-Patientenkurzakte Patient Summary. Patients opt in via the ELGA portal using ID-Austria authentication; the first cross-border corridor runs to the Czech Republic, with additional Member States to follow during 2026. The EU-Rezept becomes mandatory across all EU Member States from 2029, but Austria reaches operational capability four years early — moving from MyHealth@EU preparation to a live cross-border ePrescription corridor. For practitioners tracking the gap between MyHealth@EU readiness on paper and actual cross-border data flow, Austria has just crossed it.
