Can I get my health records in Tajikistan?
Access to the full record scores 40 of 100 in Tajikistan, against a median of 43 across 196 countries. The 2018 data law gives access to one's own data, with replies due in 3 working days, but the Health Code lets doctors withhold harmful information. We found no explicit right to a copy and no patient portal: base 45, minus 5 for limited scope.
Can I control who sees my health record in Tajikistan?
Control and consent scores 28 of 100 in Tajikistan, against a median of 30 across 196 countries. Processing needs consent under the 2018 data law, but state bodies may process data without it while doing their legal functions. We found no opt-out from health record sharing, no patient-visible access log and no patient account on the national platform.
