- The correct answer is Right to Information Act, 2009 because it empowers citizens to seek access to information held by public authorities, including medical records maintained in government healthcare facilities.
- Under this Act, patients have the legal right to obtain copies of their medical treatment records to ensure transparency and accountability.
- Other legislations mainly regulate establishment standards or medical ethics but do not explicitly guarantee record access to patients.
- Hence, the RTI Act provides the statutory framework for patients’ entitlement to their medical records in government institutions.
