Can I get my health records in Liechtenstein?
Access to the full record scores 64 of 100 in Liechtenstein, against a median of 62 across 65 countries. By law every insured person has an eGD they can read in full, holding letters, reports, labs, imaging findings and medicines since 2023. Older records and full charts stay with each doctor, and no official figure on active use was found.
Can I control who sees my health record in Liechtenstein?
Control and consent scores 74 of 100 in Liechtenstein, against a median of 52 across 65 countries. Patients can opt out at any time, hide or delete single documents, see an access log, and must unlock each provider before access. The opt-out is all or nothing: it deletes the whole dossier.
