Again the same as previous case scenario, even I are in charge of national database collecting individual data in malaria among local and migrant patients, I could not give the individual data in details without the fundamental principle of information privacy and disposition. This is miss-conduct of the regulation for data protection in general principle of data integrity and confidentiality.
It would be permissible to give the aggregate data at village or sub-district level but if they request individual details, then we need to pass the approval of institutional ethical committee and get the informed consent from individual case. This process will ensure us not to violate any of general principles of medical informatics ethics, then we have the obligation to disclose the details of each single case.
