Who holds the health record in Liechtenstein?
In 2026, Liechtenstein scores 61 out of 100 for how much say a person has over their own health record. It is tied for 21st of 198 countries and territories, and could rank anywhere from 7th to 35th allowing for scoring error, in the Mixed band (45 to 64). Who holds the keys: you and the health system. Source: Health Record Rights Index, SuperTruth, this country's data as of October 1, 2026.
The person has real controls inside a government or provider system. Its strongest right, compared with the typical country, is control over who sees it (74 out of 100, against 30 for the typical country). The furthest behind is your say over research use (42 out of 100, against 46 for the typical country).
Every insured person has an opt-out eGD with access logs and patient-unlocked doctor access, but active use is unproven and EU health-data rules lag.

What would Liechtenstein need to change to score higher?
Liechtenstein sits in Mixed (45 to 64); Strong starts at 65. Its weakest right, compared with the typical country, is your say over research use (42 out of 100, against 46 for the typical country). Every other right is at or above the typical country; the one with the most room to grow, weighted, is getting your full record (64 out of 100, against 40 to 45 for the typical country). Our scoring rules give more points for:
Your say over research use: A way to say no to research use that is actually honored, or being asked first, plus a public list of what research used the data. That puts this right at 55 to 85 out of 100.
Getting your full record: A national portal that shows most people at least part of their record (a summary, prescriptions, lab results) puts this right at 60 to 75 out of 100. A near-full record that you can download, with a long history and used by most people, puts it at 76 to 90.
