| Résumé : | As a consequence of the privacy law of 8th December 1992, the registration of medical personal data was not permitted without the written consent of the person concerned. This law became an impediment for the elaboration of a screening register in the framework of population research for breast and cervical cancer. Even conclusive data protection measures were not taken into account as an exemption to this law. On 11th December 1998 this privacy law was adapted. Population research was included as an exeption on the ban on processing data that concern the health of natural persons. This clears the way for a Flemish screening registry for breast and cervical cancer within a legal framework. |
