Azure API for FHIR will be retired on September 30, 2026. Follow the migration strategies to transition to Azure Health Data Services FHIR® service by that date. Due to the retirement of Azure API for FHIR, new customer deployments won't be allowed beginning April 1, 2025. Azure Health Data Services FHIR service is the evolved version of Azure API for FHIR that enables customers to manage FHIR and DICOM services with integrations into other Azure services.
Many open-source projects on GitHub provide source code and instructions to deploy Azure API for FHIR services for various uses. Visit the GitHub repositories to learn about and experiment with FHIR features and tools such as data conversion and anonymization.
