Yes, as a patient you have the right to your medical records. Your doctor or healthcare facility cannot arbitrarily withhold it from you. Access to your medical records is part of your right to health information under the Health Services Act.
You have the right to inspect the documentation, take extracts, copies and copies of it. The healthcare facility must therefore make the documentation available to you on request. It can only charge you for the cost of making copies or administrative processing. The doctor can only refuse if disclosure of the records could seriously harm your health, which is extremely rare in practice and must be justified.
If the doctor refuses to release the documentation without a lawful reason, you can lodge a complaint with the health service provider, the regional authority (health department) or the Data Protection Authority. As a last resort, you can also claim your rights in court.
