Abstract

This work has the object to clarify the doubts arising from the enforcement of data protection laws in relation to the operations of international data transfer in the strict field of health. There are more and more cases in which health data are communicated between countries. There are few references in the laws specifically designed to regulate these operations. On one hand, laws contains some references about how to protect health data. On the other hand, laws contains provisions aimed at the international transfer, in general terms. It is necessary therefore to undertake a work of interpretation to understand how the health data can be transmitted between countries.
