Why you must attend

Hospitals health facilites handle the most sensitive type of data, patient information. A single data breach can expose medical records, violate patient trust, and lead to severe legal consequences. Yet, many hospitals still treat data protection as an afterthought rather than a core function.

Medical professionals focus on saving lives. But who is protecting patient data? Many hospitals unknowingly expose confidential information through weak systems, careless handling, and lack of awareness. Compliance with data protection laws is not optional, it is a legal and ethical responsibility.

The abandoned patient file

A doctor at a private hospital in Kampala left a patient file on his desk. A visitor walked in, took photos of the medical report, and shared them on social media. Within hours, the patient’s confidential HIV status was exposed to the public. The hospital faced a lawsuit, lost credibility, and paid heavy fines.

This is how simple lapses cause major privacy violations. Most hospitals do not suffer from hackers—they suffer from careless handling of patient data.

This training will teach you how to prevent such incidents before they happen.
