New Framework for Health Data from the Ministry of Health

The Ministry of Health is carrying out comprehensive framework preparations regarding the retention period, deletion conditions, and correction of incorrect records of citizens' health data in the system.

Scope of the New Framework

The new study conducted by the Ministry of Health foresees significant changes regarding the future of citizens' health data in the system. With the prepared framework, data retention periods and deletion conditions are being clarified.

Deletion and Anonymization of Records

Thanks to the regulation to be made, in the event that the legal reason necessitating the retention of data in the system disappears, the relevant records can be completely deleted, destroyed, or anonymized.

Concerns Over Avoiding Treatment

It is observed that young people, who worry that past psychological and psychiatric examination records might appear before them in public duties or career choices, avoid treatment processes. This situation has caused the issue to be brought back to the agenda.
