Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present statutory and non-statutory conditions that must be met in order for the disclosure of information covered by professional confidentiality in relation to the complex doctor-patient relationship to be legitimate. The article discusses the catalog of circumstances excluding the obligation of medical confidentiality, resulting from normative acts of the statutory rank (Act of 5 December 1996 on the professions of physician and dentist, Journal of Laws 1997 No. 28, item 152; Act of 6 November 2008 on patient rights and the Ombudsman for Patient Rights, Journal of Laws 2009 No. 52, item 417), as well as the provisions of the Medical Code of Ethics.
