What would Kyrgyzstan need to change to score higher?
Kyrgyzstan sits in Mixed (45 to 64); Strong starts at 65. Its weakest right, compared with the typical country, is privacy and security (42 out of 100, against 45 for the typical country). Every other right is at or above the typical country; the one with the most room to grow, weighted, is control over who sees it (35 out of 100, against 30 for the typical country). Our scoring rules give more points for:
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.
Control over who sees it: A way to say no to sharing (or to be asked first), a log you can read of who opened your record, and finer choices about who sees what. Together these put this right at 60 to 80 out of 100.
Which laws give health record rights in Kyrgyzstan?
