Health Information Law

Health Information Law within the context of Public Health Law governs how personal health data is collected, used, and shared while protecting individual privacy and promoting public health. This area of law ensures that sensitive health information, such as medical records, is securely handled by healthcare providers, researchers, and public health officials. It balances the need for data to track disease, manage health crises, and improve healthcare services with the fundamental rights of individuals to maintain control over their personal health information. Compliance with these laws fosters trust and transparency in the healthcare system.
