Recommendation of the Council of Europe on the protection of health-related data
Observing the growing use of new technologies in processing health-related data, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe adopted the Recommendation CM/Rec(2019)2 to member States on the protection of health-related data on 27 March 2019. Observing that the processing of health-related data now takes place in an environment that has changed considerably since 1997, this Recommendation replaces the Recommendation No. R (97) 5 and extends the term ‘medical data’ to include any kind of health-related data.
