Exigen a Issste entregar expediente clínico

The INAI ordered ISSSTE to actively search for and deliver certified copies of a claimant’s clinical records from 1996 to 2024, rejecting the institution’s claim that the data did not exist. This ruling reinforces the mandatory duty of public health providers to locate and share personal health information upon request, preventing arbitrary denials based on poor archival management. This case is highly relevant to open data as it clarifies the boundary between open access and personal data protection. It establishes that transparency obligations extend to archived individual records, requiring agencies to prove diligent searches before withholding information, thus balancing public accountability with privacy rights in healthcare systems.
