[Background]

The proposed amendment seeks to expand the range of data senders in the healthcare sector. This will allow data subjects to request that their personal information be transmitted to themselves or to a third party, such as a specialized personal information management agency.

[Main Points]

The amendment expands the range of data senders in the healthcare sector by adding approximately 300 general hospitals to the existing list, which includes the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA), the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS), the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA), and 47 tertiary hospitals. This change allows data subjects to request that their personal information be transmitted to themselves or to a third party, such as a specialized personal information management agency.
