In the field of prosthetics, the importance of medical confidentiality lies in protecting the patient’s privacy and ensuring mutual trust between patients and medical and technical staff, given that the process requires access to precise personal and health data. This study aims to clarify the legal nature of medical confidentiality in this field, and highlight the obligations of doctors and prosthetics technicians to maintain confidentiality. It also seeks to emphasise the legal framework governing these obligations and the limits of liability arising from their breach. The study found that protecting medical confidentiality extends beyond doctors to include all healthcare workers, including prosthetics technicians. The results also showed that unauthorised disclosure of medical information can result in civil, disciplinary and criminal liability. Furthermore, the study emphasises the importance of strengthening legal and ethical frameworks to ensure the protection of patients’ health data and respect their privacy.
