The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation created by the European Union (EU) to protect the personal data of EU citizens. The GDPR came into effect on May 25, 2018, and applies to any organization that collects, stores, or processes personal data of EU citizens. While the regulation is specific to EU citizens, it has global implications, and organizations worldwide must comply with the regulation if they collect or process personal data of EU citizens. GDPR has created a paradigm shift in the way organizations collect, store, and process personal data. It has made it mandatory for organizations to be transparent about the data they collect, obtain explicit consent from the data subjects, and secure the data to prevent any unauthorized access or misuse. Organizations that fail to comply with GDPR can face severe penalties, including fines of up to 4% of their annual global revenue or €20 million (whichever is higher). Indian hospitals, like any other organization worldwide, must comply with GDPR if they collect or process personal data of EU citizens. This means that Indian hospitals that have patients from the EU must ensure that they comply with GDPR requirements. GDPR applies to any organization that offers goods or services to EU citizens, regardless of the location of the organization. Therefore, Indian hospitals that provide medical treatment to EU citizens must comply with GDPR. Personal data covered under GDPR includes any information that can identify a person, such as name, address, email address, phone number, medical records, or any other sensitive information. Indian hospitals that collect and process such personal data must comply with GDPR. This includes obtaining explicit consent from the data subjects, ensuring the security of the data, and providing data subjects with the right to access, correct, and delete their data.
