[Why B&H does not have law on health data protection?].
Protection of private data is secured by number of laws in EU and in some aspects they consider clinical or medical data, or they are more common and therefore reflect on general data protection. Considering the fact that, there are no laws in Bosnia and Herzegovina on Data protection, neither Health Data protection, it could be concluded that, based on Law on free access to information in Bosnia and Herzegovina, patients cannot control dissemination of private and confidential information about their health and health status in general. The authors suggest creation of legislative in this area in Bosnia and Herzegovina in accordance with directive 95/46/EC of European Parliament and Council of Europe, which come into force in EU in 1997.
