How can I access medical information about ...?

The right of a person to get acquainted with information about himself is enshrined in the Constitution of Ukraine (Part 3, Article 32). Access to reliable and complete information about one's health is also provided for by the Civil Code of Ukraine (Article 285).

According to the Law of Ukraine "Fundamentals of the Legislation of Ukraine on Health Care", the medical worker is obliged to provide the patient with information about his health, the purpose of the proposed research and treatment measures in an accessible form.

Therefore, based on the above, you can obtain copies of medical documents by submitting a corresponding request to a medical institution.

Regarding access to medical information of other persons, I would like to inform you of the following.

According to Part 1 of Article 286 of the Civil Code of Ukraine, a natural person has the right to secrecy about his state of health, the fact of seeking medical help, diagnosis, as well as information obtained during his medical examination.

Exceptions are established in Part 2 of Art. 285 of the Civil Code of Ukraine, namely: parents (adoptive parents), guardian, custodian have the right to information about the state of health of a child or ward.
