The right to privacy being an important and intrinsic part of the right to life and liberty also applies to the institutions which are not always state governed. For instance, the health sector in the country should preserve the right of the patient’s privacy with regard to personal sensitive medical information. Certain laws should govern the data storage, transfer, and usage in the health sector. It is in this regard only that the following article analysis the new draft of The Digital Information Security in Healthcare Act (DISHA) given by the health ministry. It aims to study existing laws and their drawbacks which the new draft tries to overcome. Further, it determines policy gaps in the given draft for any future changes due to advancement in the technology in the health care sector and endeavours to provide effective recommendations for best governance in the future. Also to create legislation which could specifically govern the health care information in the country?
