The Korle Bu Teaching Hospital and 176 other institutions have been cited by the Data Protection Commission as having flouted data protection regulations and advised to comply to prevent any legal action.

In a press release available to ClassFMonline.com, the commission expressed on Monday, June 19, its “utmost disappointment” at the institutions “who perform functions as data controllers in violation of the requirement to register in accordance with Section 27 (1) of the Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843)”.

The commission indicated that in order to protect the interest of the public, it will have no choice “but to commence the prosecution of the offending institutions and the publication of their names to prevent reckless misapplication, use and abuse of personal data”.

According to the commission, the list released is the first in a series of publications that the commission will be undertaking.
