In Nova Scotia, the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIPOP) and the Hospitals Act provide privacy protection to patients. In addition, the Colchester East Hants Health Authority, and the Nova Scotia Department of Health have policies and procedures in place to assist in protecting your personal health information.
