ABSTRACT
The purpose of the article is to consider the issues of ensuring confidentiality in the field of healthcare and to propose ways to solve the problems of real practical ensuring of the rights of patients to privacy. It is indicated that the right to privacy is implemented in various spheres of public life, and confidentiality in the health sector is an actual problem. It is necessary to protect the patient not only within the range of the provision of medical care or the implementation of medical services, but also from a legal perspective.To ensure, guarantee and implement the patient's right to confidentiality in the healthcare sector, it is proposed: to increase the list of subjects to which confidentiality requirements should be extended by adding categories such as healers, pharmaceutical workers, employers, insurers, law enforcement officials, employees of the penitentiary bodies and the migration service, and employees of computer services who have access to sensitive information about patient. The factors that determine confidentiality in the healthcare sector are identified.
