Two cleaners deemed responsible for patient data breach

The Health Bureau has dismissed two of its cleaners following last month’s patient information leak where classified documents were found lying across the Av. do Dr. Rodrigo Rodrigues. It was initially suggested that a total of six full-time assistants working at the Hospital Conde S. Januário’s laboratory center were subject to the month-long inquiry for not following official guidelines in processing waste. The dismissal was supported by the Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture Alexis Tam. No management-level officials took responsibility for the episode.
