Luxembourg Makes Shared Medical Records Easier to Access with New Online Activation

Luxembourg has taken a major step toward modernising patient access to health information, introducing a simplified online system that allows residents to activate their shared medical record — the Dossier de Soins Partagé (DSP) — directly through MyGuichet.lu. The change, which took effect on 1 December 2025, was announced by the Ministry of Health and forms part of the government’s broader digitisation strategy.

Until now, patients needed to wait for an activation code sent by post before they could open their DSP account. The new system eliminates that delay. Any person registered with Luxembourg’s social security can now authenticate on MyGuichet.lu and enable their eSanté account immediately, gaining direct access to their digital health file. The government emphasises that this update is designed to make the platform “more practical and accessible for everyone,” in line with national e-health priorities.

According to official guidance from Guichet.lu, DSPs are now created automatically for each eligible individual. Once activated, the record consolidates essential health data such as medical reports, examination results and treatment information. Patients can also manage privacy settings, choosing which healthcare providers may access specific documents. This centralised model aims to improve continuity of care while giving users clearer oversight of their personal medical information.

Media reports highlight the reform as a significant usability improvement, noting that faster account activation should encourage more residents to make use of their DSP. The enhanced transparency and real-time access are expected to particularly benefit patients managing chronic conditions, those seeing multiple specialists and individuals who travel frequently.

The Ministry of Health has framed the move as a milestone in Luxembourg’s digital-health transition. By streamlining access, officials hope to boost DSP adoption rates and support a more connected, patient-centred healthcare system — one in which residents can readily view their medical information whenever they need it, without waiting for paperwork or administrative delays.
