Anouk Waeytens: Once cured, patients should not have to suffer twice
Anouk Waeytens, Advisor at Office of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Social Affairs and Public Health, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Belgium has introduced the Right to be Forgotten in 2019 and was a forerunner in the implementation of that necessary protection mechanism for patients with cancer or chronic diseases. Once cured, patients should not have to suffer twice. This is not about compassion, it is about scientific evidence: if doctors speak of complete recovery, why should a financial institution discriminate against them?”
