Mijngezondheid

In the fight against the coronavirus too, Mijngezondheid is a central place to bring together all the information and your personal data. On the one hand, you will find all the information about testing, vaccination, current measures and so on. On the other hand, you can take personal actions there, such as requesting a PCR test, viewing your test results or consulting your vaccination data. You can also click straight through to your Covid Safe Ticket or download the documents for your return to Belgium.

Your GP keeps a detailed medical file for you, as do any other doctors you see regularly. When you go to a new doctor, they immediately get a clear picture of your health. This can be particularly important in emergencies.

Using the 'Summarized Electronic Health Record' (Sumehr) programme, your doctor creates a digital summary of your file. This summary contains:

• your basic details: name, date of birth, mother tongue, and so on
• the details of an emergency contact
• information about risk factors, such as allergies, reactions to medication, social risk factors, and so on • an overview of your medical history
• a list of current problems
• an overview of medication and vaccinations

Only doctors can create this summary and share it with each other. Other care providers cannot read it, and neither can you.

More information

Keep track of your medication use, view your medication schedule, your outstanding prescriptions or get a quick overview of your vaccinations. The 'My medicines' section brings together all the information about your current medication use. So this is where you can quickly and easily check when you need to take which medicines, or when you received a particular vaccine. Handy!

Please note: some vaccines or medicines may not appear in your electronic overview. In that case, your doctor has not registered them yet. Ask them to add this information, so that your medication data is complete.
