Legal and Human Rights Aspects of Working with Health Data in Multinational Environment

Data

Official data in SubjectManager for the following academic year: 2024-2025

Topic

Personal health data are belonging into the ‘especially sensitive’ category, and that is why data protection and personal right protection related legislation and legal measures are paying a special attention to them. Being familiar with them is important already during the physician – client health care provision daily routine, because it involves the legal and forensic medical responsibility of the health personals, especially on the field of data sharing and data transfer. Currently – as consequence of the migration trends – the multinational, multicultural composition of numerous regions worldwide – gives a special importance.

Above all, being familiar with them is important as well on the field of the development of health data-base, aiming to serve the ‘evidence based’ development of new methods, resulting the development of quality-care and/ or its expansion for new fields.

Current migration trends and international treaties serving the special protection of children and adolescents raise a new aspect and importance of age assessment. This course will deal with the current controversial nature of this challenge
