What’s new: China will establish a new unified national health information platform by 2025 which will expand on the use of its citizen’s pre-pandemic digital health codes, health authorities announced Wednesday.

“Each resident will have a dynamically managed digital health record and a full-featured electronic health code” in three years, according to a plan released by the National Health Commission (NHC) and two other state departments.
