Abstract

The General Data Protection Law enacted in Brazil in 2018 reflcts the international movement for the preservation of fundamental rights such as privacy, intimacy, honor, image rights and human dignity. The objective of the study was to point out to what extent the structure of the Brazilian public health system will be impacted by the publication of the Law and to indicate possible paths to be taken in this direction. This is a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory research using the deductive method from the analysis of articles and legal order. The results achieved point to the relationship between SUS and the need to protect sensitive data and good practices in information security, with direct impact on patient privacy. From the results, it was concluded that the SUS will be eminently impacted by GDPL and, given the importance of its information technology structure, it should take diligent and fast measures to comply with the Law.
