Personal Data Protection Notification

We Respect and Keep Your Data Safe


The Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) protects your personal data while enabling organisations to use your data reasonably to serve you. We, as a public healthcare institution, respect and keep your data safe by:

Limiting access to only doctors and healthcare personnel who are involved in your care, and supporting internal processes

Conducting regular checks to ensure only authorised persons have accessed your data

Removing details that identify you when using your data for internal purposes as far as possible

Serving You as a Public Healthcare Institution 

 
When you seek care from other healthcare providers, we will share relevant data with them through trusted information systems like the National Electronic Health Record (NEHR) system. We may use your personal data to invite you to participate in suitable care programmes, or shortlist you for participation in relevant research studies.

As a public healthcare institution, we share relevant data and participate in national and multi-agency efforts to:

Review healthcare policies and requirements

Review programmes that ensure patient safety and improve the quality of healthcare services

Conduct disease surveillance to address public health concerns

Train future generations of healthcare professionals

Please be assured that if your personal data is collected, used or disclosed for these purposes, we will protect it as required under the PDPA and other relevant legislation such as the Healthcare Services Act. 


Please refer to the NHG Personal Data Protection Policy for more information on our data protection commitment.
