Abstract

The digitalization of healthcare systems has become essential for very modern society. Therefore, the regulation of digital healthcare plays a pivotal role in the process of creating the right rules and principles that will serve to enhance the digital health services and the patients’ rights. The development of Macedonian eHealth law is mainly based on the policies and laws that have been adopted in the last decade. In general, the national legislation follows the EU legislative framework on digital health and the WTO
recommendations. The country has already developed reforms in the field of digital health and has moderately harmonized the domestic healthcare ecosystem with the EU. Thus, this research will give an inside overview of the national legislation that refers to eHealth, which primarily comprises the eHealth law. The adopted national legislation and the transposed EU rules are an intertwined legal nexus that has the potential to generate national eHealth law.
In addition to this eHealth system requirements for appropriate data privacy protection challenges the need to balance public health needs and healthcare relationships. Ultimately, we want a system that reflects the need to create a just and adequate e-healthcare system. This emphasizes the demand for academic research, findings, and resources that will enhance the eHealth law.
Our findings show that there is a lack of domestic academic and research resources that may impact on the development of eHealth law as a separate discipline in the country. Should we underline the important role of this discipline? Should we work to make more systemized and to evolve it to become
part of our educational system?
