التشهير بالسر الطبي للمريض

الملخص EN

The use of electronic means has become inevitable at all levels and in all public and private sections because it facilitates performing tasks and speeding data mining.

The Ministry of Health had to develop its services through the introduction of modern technologies in its sector.

For decades, it is no secret that the medical records have remained constant in a form of files or a collection of manuscripts; yet, within the last 40 years there have been tremendous advances in information technology science, one of the most advanced and most influential human sciences in human life.

These developments led scientists and healthcare and information technology professionals, together, to design and invent electronic medical records based on highly capable computers for storing, processing and transferring data through information networks and modern means of communication.

The doctor's authority is bound with a set of obligations to protect the patients' medical secret neither by exploiting their weaknesses, publishing his images nor publishing his health file on the level of social websites.

During his defamation, the doctor shall be objected to a penalty and punishment by law.

In this context, the Ministry of Health faces recurrent challenges related to the privacy and security of electronic medical information.

The more easily accessible, the more important it is to establish more security and privacy rules governing the use and access to information.
