CONFIDENTIALTY IN MEDICAL PRACTICE: AN ANALYSIS

Hiranmaya Nanda, Chinmaya Kumar Mohapatra

Abstract :

This article is an attempt to reflect the concept of confidentiality and right to privacy exclusively in medical practice. Maintaining secrecy and justifying right to privacy create a sacrosanct relation between a doctor and patient. Today as there is no concrete and acceptable definition of the right to privacy rather it is a continuously emerging fact whose character and scope is largely derived from the context. The present study focuses on relevant mechanisms of privacy protection and their application in doctor-patient relationship through various legislations and judicial analysis.
