Who holds the health record in Grenada?
In 2026, Grenada scores 26 out of 100 for how much say a person has over their own health record. It is tied for 177th of 198 countries and territories, and could rank anywhere from 155th to 192nd allowing for scoring error, in the Weak band (25 to 44). Who holds the keys: doctors, hospitals and insurers. Source: Health Record Rights Index, SuperTruth, this country's data as of October 1, 2026.
Doctors, hospitals and insurers decide. No right is above the typical country. The closest is your say over research use (43 out of 100, against 46 for the typical country). The furthest behind is protection from sale and ads (25 out of 100, against 45 for the typical country).
Grenada passed a Data Protection Act in 2023 but has not switched it on, so patients still have no enforceable right over their health records.

Questions people ask
Can I see my health record in Grenada?
In 2026, getting your full record scores 25 out of 100 in Grenada; the typical country scores 40 to 45. The Data Protection Act 2023 would give a right to see personal data within 60 days for a fee, but it is not in force, so no enforceable right exists. There is no patient portal, and the hospital records process was not verified. Source: Parliament of Grenada, March 2023, and the other sources below.
Who controls health records in Grenada?
In 2026, doctors, hospitals and insurers hold the keys to your health record in Grenada. Control over who sees it scores 25 out of 100 in Grenada; the typical country scores 30. With the Data Protection Act not in force, patients have no legal say over who sees or shares their health records. The Act, once started, would still let health professionals process health data for medical purposes without written consent. Source: Parliament of Grenada, March 2023, and the other sources below.

What would Grenada need to change to score higher?
Grenada sits in Weak (25 to 44); Mixed starts at 45. Its two weakest rights, compared with the typical country and weighted by how much each counts, are getting your full record (25 out of 100, against 40 to 45 for the typical country) and privacy and security (30 out of 100, against 45 for the typical country). Our scoring rules give more points for:
Getting your full record: A national portal that shows most people at least part of their record (a summary, prescriptions, lab results) puts this right at 60 to 75 out of 100. A near-full record that you can download, with a long history and used by most people, puts it at 76 to 90.
Privacy and security: A health data regulator that is independent and actually acts: it decides cases about health records, breaches must be reported, and fines are applied.
Which laws give health record rights in Grenada?
Data Protection Act, No. 1 of 2023: Gives access rights and treats health data as sensitive; not in force, awaiting a ministerial commencement order.
Electronic Crimes Act, No. 23 of 2013: Makes unauthorised access to computer systems and copying of data a criminal offence.
Pharmacy Act, Chapter 241 (Act No. 25 of 1987, as amended): Sets up the Pharmacy Council; requires dispensing records on Council forms for inspection.
