NDHB "severely infringes" privacy principles, doesn't say patient is owner of data, no safeguards for EHR misuse: SFLC
Author: Trisha Jalan - Published 2019-08-16 11:29In its comments to the Ministry of Health’s National Digital Health Blueprint, SFLC has submitted that the Blueprint proposes a framework that “severely infringes” upon the fundamental right to privacy; it doesn’t adhere to privacy principles recommended by the AP Shah committee or in the Justice Srikrishna Committee report, the draft Personal Data Protection Bill 2018; it falls short of the tests laid down in the Supreme Court’s privacy judgment, and ignores the SC’s Aadhaar judgment.
