In the medical field, patient privacy protection has always been a concern. Recently, the leakage of Zhou Haimei's rescue medical records has attracted widespread attention, which also reminds us once again that patients' privacy cannot be placed without nowhere to be placed.
First of all, we need to be clear that patient privacy is protected by law. In accordance with the "Personal Information Protection of the People's Republic of China" and other relevant laws and regulations, medical institutions and their staff shall keep patients' personal information confidential, and shall not disclose, tamper with or destroy patients' personal information at will.
According to previous reports, the two people involved in the alleged leakage of Zhou Haimei's medical records, one is a hospital employee, and the other is a friend of the employee. I don't know if this Fu Moumou is a doctor. If Fu Moumou is indeed a physician, he has betrayed the most basic professional ethics, such as violating the "Physician Law" and the "Basic Medical Care and Health Promotion Law". Even if you are not a doctor, taking advantage of the convenience of working in a hospital to divulge the privacy of others is not tolerated by the law and constitutes a civil tort.
The Special Action Plan for Patient Safety (2023-2025) formulated and issued by the National Health Commission clearly states that to prevent data leakage, damage, and loss, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to provide patient diagnosis and treatment information to others or other institutions without authorization. In this context, Zhou Haimei's medical records were leaked, which is indeed regrettable and angry. The patient's name, gender, age, admission time, medical history statement and other information belong to the patient's personal privacy and are protected by law. If it is not supervised in accordance with the law and the relevant regulations are strictly implemented, Zhou Haimei's leaked medical records may occur in every patient, so that the patient will lose the most basic sense of security. 
So, what are the consequences if a patient's privacy is compromised?
First, it can have a negative impact on the patient's physical and mental health. Patients may feel violated, insulted, discriminated against, and other negative emotions, which in turn can lead to psychological stress and distress.
Second, leaking a patient's privacy can also have a negative impact on the patient's home and work. Patients may suffer losses such as family tensions, loss of job opportunities, and may even face social exclusion and discrimination.
Finally, from a legal point of view, it is illegal for medical institutions and their staff to divulge patient privacy. According to the "Personal Information Protection of the People's Republic of China" and other relevant laws and regulations, medical institutions and their staff will face administrative penalties such as fines and revocation of practice certificates if they disclose patients' privacywhere the circumstances are serious, they may also be suspected of criminal offenses such as the crime of infringing on citizens' personal information.
Therefore, protecting patient privacy is a legal obligation and responsibility of healthcare facilities and their staff. Medical establishments shall establish and complete systems for protecting patients' privacy, employing necessary technical and management measures to ensure the confidentiality and security of patients' personal information. At the same time, medical institutions and their staff should also strengthen professional ethics education, improve legal awareness and responsibility, and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of patients.
In conclusion, protecting patient privacy is one of the most important tasks in the medical field. Medical establishments and their staff shall strengthen efforts to protect patients' privacy, ensuring the confidentiality and security of patients' personal information. At the same time, we should also strengthen the publicity and enforcement of laws and regulations, so that violations of patients' privacy are punished by law. Only in this way can we work together to maintain a safe, harmonious and healthy medical environment.
