Clinical staff who shared the four-time Grammy winner’s medical records following her hospital admission due to abdominal pain face a possible fine of over $433,000…………………………. ………….. The second stop on the Las mujeres ya no lloran world tour will be hard to forget for Shakira, her team and her community of fans. After her performances in Brazil, Peru was shaping up to be an ideal destination due to the connection that the Colombian artist has always had with that country since the days when she sported jet-black hair and sang Pies descalzos in the mid-nineties. But the reunion with the Andean country, after 14 years, has been rather eventful.While fans who had tickets for Sunday were complaining that they would not be able to attend on a different date, confidential information began to spread on social media: the list of medicines and supplies for the singer’s treatment at the hospital: ampoules, gauze, a binasal oxygen cannula among other requirements. At first it was thought to be a false document, but shortly thereafter the Delgado Clinic issued an internal memo where it reminded the medical staff of their obligations.

“The information regarding the interaction of the locator (doctor) with sources of information (medical records, among others) must remain confidential […]. The locator must comply with the data protection standards, confidentiality policies and other guidelines of the clinic. In line with the above, access to the patients’ medical records is restricted to the treating physician as appropriate. We count on your commitment to continue providing a continuous, coherent, fluid medical service and together to take care of life to always live it better,” the statement says.

Although Shakira has not yet taken legal action against the clinic, on Monday the National Health Superintendence (SUSALUD) sent a delegation to the medical establishment to gather information about the case. The agency underscored that it is the right of every user of health services to be treated with dignity and full respect for their privacy, and that data about their diagnosis, treatment, as well as photographs or videos should not be released.
