Who holds the health record in Monaco?
In 2026, Monaco scores 43 out of 100 for how much say a person has over their own health record. It is tied for 80th of 198 countries and territories, and could rank anywhere from 57th to 102nd allowing for scoring error, in the Weak band (25 to 44). Who holds the keys: doctors, hospitals and insurers. Source: Health Record Rights Index, SuperTruth, this country's data as of October 1, 2026.
Doctors, hospitals and insurers decide. Its strongest right, compared with the typical country, is privacy and security (58 out of 100, against 45 for the typical country). The furthest behind is one record across your care (32 out of 100, against 38 for the typical country).
Monaco gives a firm legal right to the full record and a new GDPR-style law, but there is no shared national record linking providers.

What would Monaco need to change to score higher?
Monaco sits in Weak (25 to 44); Mixed starts at 45. Its weakest right, compared with the typical country, is one record across your care (32 out of 100, against 38 for the typical country). Every other right is at or above the typical country; the one with the most room to grow, weighted, is control over who sees it (35 out of 100, against 30 for the typical country). Our scoring rules give more points for:
One record across your care: Family doctors, hospitals, labs, pharmacies, insurers and public health all linked to one record that is used across the country.
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.
