ПРАВОВА ОХОРОНА ПЕРСОНАЛЬНИХ ДАНИХ У СФЕРІ ОХОРОНИ ЗДОРОВ'Я В УКРАЇНІ

The growing number of breaches of the privacy and security of electronic data is raising outrage and concern among users and professionals in many industries, particularly in the medical field. Risks associated with insufficient security of medical data include the possibility of unauthorized access to personal medical information, its falsification, as well as the disclosure of confidential data without the consent of patients. This can have serious consequences for patients, including violations of their privacy, fear of losing confidential information, and even the possibility of inaccurate diagnosis or treatment due to falsification of medical records. Therefore, to protect medical data and ensure their confidentiality, it is necessary to pay special attention to the implementation of appropriate cyber security measures and compliance with relevant legal norms and standards. This includes the development of modern data encryption technologies, regular training of medical personnel on cyber security issues, as well as strict implementation of regulations on the protection of confidential information. Confidentiality of medical information in the field of health care must be considered in the context of a wide range of cultural, social and religious beliefs and traditions. Some medical data can be particularly sensitive and private, such as information about reproductive health, mental disorders, HIV/AIDS treatment, and adolescent health services. According to the Law of Ukraine «On Protection of Personal Data» personal data is information or a set of information about a natural person who is identified or can be specifically identified. Article 2 of the 1981 Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data defines personal data as any information relating to a specifically identified person or a person who can be specifically identified. This means that any information that allows or can allow the identification of a specific person is considered personal data and is subject to protection under this convention. This definition is a general standard used in many countries and international legal acts to ensure the protection of privacy and confidentiality of personal data. It covers a wide range of information, including name, address, phone number, email, health information, financial information, and much more. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
