Czechs will soon be able to use e-prescriptions in other countries

Within a few weeks, Czech citizens will be able to use digital prescriptions issued by their doctor when visiting a pharmacy in another EU country, such as Croatia, Poland or Spain, the head of the State Institute for Drug Control, Irena Storová, said at a press conference on Thursday.

Similarly, foreigners from these countries will be able to retrieve electronically prescribed medicine in Czechia. Currently, they are only allowed to pick up medicines in the EU with a printed prescription.

The State Institute for Drug Control will publish a list of facilities in Czechia and foreign countries which will allow the option to use a foreign e-prescription.
