【聯合聲明：強烈讉責醫管局向警方洩漏病人私隱】
今日下午，醫學界立法會議員陳沛然醫生召開記者會，展示證據，揭發醫管局內電腦系列內設有「後門」，令任何人可在毋須登入下取得病人資料。系統當中更有列明「For Police」，專為警方而設的版面，當中載有英文全名、身份證號碼、年齡、性別、電話號碼、出入院時間及住院病房等病人資料，更有標籤將部份病人分類至「立法會外大型集會」人士。陳議員亦取得醫管局內部通訊電郵，要求員工於電腦系統內標籤參加「立法會外大型集會」的求醫人士。
我等一眾醫學生組織，謹此對醫管局洩漏病人私隱一事予以強烈讉責。醫學院教導同學，維護病人私隱為最重要的醫學倫理之一，更時常強調醫患關系乃醫療工作之基石。今日，醫管局管理全港公立醫院，卻在無任何臨床需要及未得病人同意下將病人私隱拱手交予警方，違背專業道德。上周起，因應警方進入醫院拘捕傷者，已有不少市民對醫護失去信心，甚至有市民因此避免到醫院求醫。為挽回事件對醫患關係的破壞，醫管局必須盡速公開向廣大市民及受影響病人致歉、交待事件，並修補漏洞。同時，個人資料私隱專員公署亦應介入調查，保障市民權益。

【Joint Statement of Condemnation towards the Hospital Authority for Exposing Patient Information to the Police Force】
In a press conference held this afternoon, Dr Hon Pierre Chan, member of the Legislative Council for the Medical functional constituency, showcased evidence of a “backdoor” in the Hospital Authority’s electronic patient record (ePR) system that grants anyone access to patient information without the need of logging in. The interface is remarked with “For Police”, and exposes information including patients’ full name, HK Identity Card number, age, sex, phone number, admission time and ward, with indication of whether they have participated in the “mass gathering outside Legco”. Dr Hon Chan has also acquired an earlier email circulating in the Hospital Authority intranet showing frontline healthcare staff being requested to identify and label patients who have participated in the “mass gathering outside Legco”.
We, as medical students from the University of Hong Kong and The Chinese University of Hong Kong, hereby strongly condemn the Hospital Authority for infringing upon patients’ privacy. “Confidentiality” is one of the four pillars of medical ethics, and is the cornerstone of the doctor-patient relationship. As the largest public healthcare provider in Hong Kong, the Hospital Authority has violated the medical code of conduct by exposing patients’ information to the police without patient consent nor clinical necessity. Since last week, the police have been arresting injured protesters receiving medical care within Hospital Authority premises, sabotaging doctor-patient trust and deterring citizens from seeking medical attention in public hospitals.
The Hospital Authority must apologise to all affected citizens in Hong Kong, conduct a formal inquiry into the incident and block the backdoor immediately. We also call for investigatory action from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data of Hong Kong to protect citizens’ rights to privacy.
