Chile’s health data governance framework includes Law No. 19.628 on Privacy Protection, the Law on Patients’ Rights, and the National Cybersecurity Policy. These laws focus on protecting individuals’ privacy and data security. The Constitution also enshrines health rights, ensuring equitable healthcare access, while the Sanitary Code governs public health practices. Key areas include data rights and ownership, enhanced health services, and privacy safeguards in digital health. Chile’s framework promotes trust in data systems through requirements for transparency, data security, and regulated data sharing. However, challenges include the lack of precise legal definitions and the absence of a centralised regulatory authority.
