What would Moldova need to change to score higher?
Moldova sits in Weak (25 to 44); Mixed starts at 45. Every right is at or above the typical country. The two with the most room to grow, weighted by how much each counts, are control over who sees it (32 out of 100, against 30 for the typical country) and getting your full record (40 out of 100, against 40 to 45 for the typical country). Our scoring rules give more points for:
Control over who sees it: A way to say no to sharing (or to be asked first), a log you can read of who opened your record, and finer choices about who sees what. Together these put this right at 60 to 80 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.
Which laws give health record rights in Moldova?
