Panama analyzing digital “Health Passports”

Panama’s  Foreign Ministry is analyzing at least three digital “Health Passports”. These are the platforms provided by the Commons Project, the World Economic Forum, and the Rockefeller Foundation called “CommonPass”, that of the International Air Transport Association called “IATA Travel Pass” and the “IBM Digital Health Pass”.

These platforms seek to establish a digital registry of vaccine against Covid-19 or PCR tests aimed at facilitating the entry of travelers to certain territories.

Foreign Minister Egika  Mouynes explained that they have a technical team that evaluates, on the one hand, the technological provisions, and also the capacity for the international articulation of these proposals is being taken into account. “The criteria that will decide our participation in these proposals will be inclusion and the best utility for the majority of citizens,” she said.
