confidentiality of each personal data are our ultimate concerns. We also understand and fully laud the Privacy
Guidelines on the Processing and Disclosure of COVID-19 Related Data for Disease Surveillance and Response as
stated in the Joint Memorandum Circular No. 2020-0002 issued by the Department of Health and the National
Privacy Commission dated April 24,2020.
Thus, we emphasize the Right to Information of every patient / staff on his or her own RT – PCR result and to all of
his/her laboratory and medical information, communication and records. Such shall not be claimed by anyone

revisions. For further clarification, we will greatly appreciate if you will directly relay your concerns regarding COVID
19 test results to the Office of the Infection Control Committee and to the Department of Laboratory Medicine.
