What is the minimum imprisonment term for violating medical confidentiality?

• A. 6 months
• B. 1 year
• C. 2 years
• D. 3 years

Answer: (A)

Violating medical confidentiality falls under unlawful disclosure of secrets. The Revised Penal Code places this offense in the prisión correccional category, with penalties in the lower end of that range. The minimum term for this class of punishment is six months (some texts note six months and one day), so six months is the correct minimum imprisonment term. The exact duration can rise with aggravating factors, but the starting point remains the lower prison term.
