Abstract
The right to the protection of personal data is a fundamental right enshrined in numerous international and national legal documents. Personal data related to health status enjoy special protection. The importance of the right to the protection of personal data (health-related) has been highlighted in the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of the European Union. This paper provides an overview of the most important legal sources in the protection of the personal (health) data in the European Union and relevant case law of the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of the European Union. At the same time the authors give attention to the current extremely complex reform of the legal framework for the protection of (personal) data in the European Union.
