This study aims to examine the legal aspects of protecting a patient's personal data within telemedicine, by identifying the different trends associated with the concept of personal data, types of data subject to protection and the importance of protecting them. The study also aims to compare the local Egyptian legislation for protecting personal data in Telemedicine with its French counterpart and a few other European Nations. The conditions attached to processing such laws, as enshrined in the Egyptian legislation, and the rights and obligations arising from such a kind of data protection, as well as the civil liability that may result from breaching protected personal data, will also be examined to establish its adequacy or otherwise.
