What Can You Do if a Health Care Worker Abuses Your Right to Confidentiality?

You can complain to the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). You can also make a civil claim for damages (compensation) against the health care worker, hospital or clinic, or any member of the public who has abused your rights.
