Code of Medical Ethics and Deontology

Article 14.4 _24 CODE OF MEDICAL DEONTOLOGY - When a doctor ceases their private work, unless there are precise instructions, they must make the medical records available to the patients during the legally established time, by the process that is considered the simplest and safest. If unsure, the corresponding Local Medical Association should be consulted. Article 14.5 A doctor has the duty to provide the patient who requests it, or to whom the patient authorizes, the information contained in the patient’s medical record. In the case of minors under 16 years of age, their representatives have the right to request access to the clinical record. Between 16 and 18 years old, minors have the right to secrecy, even from their parents, and the doctor must respect this unless it is a serious risk situation. Article 14.6 All subjective annotations (and the annotations of third parties) are considered to be restricted and personal. Article 14.7 A doctor has the obligation to protect the data contained in the medical records of the deceased and should only allow access in duly justified cases and as long as there has been no express request against this by the deceased.
