In particular, the illegal processing of health data, which are referred to as ¡°sensitive data¡±, may cause more serious harm to the person concerned than to other data. However, sharing these information is a violation of right to private life, patient privacy right and the obligation of doctor - patient confidentiality. The concern that personal health data is not adequately protected may cause patients to hesitate to apply to health care facilities. This, in addition to the right to health, will mean more violation of the right to life. In our study, the international regulations on the protection of personal data in general, in particular the ¡°Personal Health Data¡± and the regulations in our national legislation on the subject have been taken up in the light of the implementation in our country.
