Israel: Medical information mobility law published in law book
On July 24, 2024, the Parliament (Knesset) announced the publication of the Medical Information Mobility Law, 2024 in the law book. The purpose of the law is to regulate the right of every person to transfer medical information to improve medical treatment, among other things, with consent while maintaining privacy.
What are the key provisions of the law?
The law applies to 'healthcare providers,' who receive medical information. A recipient of information must not request an information source to receive medical information, unless they have applied for the consent of the person for whom the information is requested to transfer the information, through the system for managing access privileges, and in compliance with the law. Additionally, the law, among other things, contains provisions for privacy protection, risk management, and cybersecurity.
Next steps
The law will enter into force on July 24, 2027, with the exception of certain sections which will enter into effect as specified in the law.
