Eastern Health privacy breach names patients who suffered pregnancy and infant loss


A Mount Pearl woman says changes are needed to ensure an Eastern Health privacy breach that exposed the names and email addresses of people who have lost a baby doesn't happen again. Eastern Health apologizesThe health authority confirmed the privacy breach to CBC News, and said they apologize to the 79 people affected by it. But McMeekin said that when she initially made the pastoral care office aware of the mistake, it wasn't taken seriously. The privacy breach is especially concerning considering the vulnerability of the people included on the email list, she said. Everyone who has experienced pregnancy or infant loss is invited to attend, McMeekin said, and siblings and living children are also welcome.
