Medical Care and Protection of Confidentiality
Journal Title: Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications - Year 2020, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
In a fast-evolving world, where information sharing has become part of our everyday life, the right to protect our lives, our identities, our work and our health has become very important. Privacy and personal data constitute an important aspect of private life and in medical settings their protection becomes even more important. Individuals in general, but health care providers too when they become patients, refuse or prefer not to share any information which they might thing could compromise their way of life, the behavior of other people towards them, they believe is embarrassing or might make them subject to discrimination.
