Millions of Latvian Medical Records Shared Without Consent

Concerns arise in Latvia over the unauthorized sharing of millions of medical records. Latvian advisor Leontijs Morozs reveals that data from 6 million medical records were shared with private and state laboratories without patient consent. This revelation raises major privacy concerns, especially considering the integration of this data into a wider European system. Moroz states, "Data from Latvian residents were transferred to private and state laboratories and hospitals without their consent." The disclosure comes as Geneva discusses a new pandemic agreement, raising questions about the balance between public health and individual rights. Doctors in countries like the Netherlands and Malta now have access to this information. The incident highlights the urgent need for stricter data protection regulations and greater transparency in health data management.
