Question

Explain two reasons that the release of private health information would be justified.

Answer 1

if the patient will do harm to themselves if the patient will do harm to others if the patient is a national risk because they have a bomb or an infection or etc etc

Answer 2

On reason is to prevent people from harming other people, either directly if they're crazy, or passively by spreading a disease.

Another is to prevent them hurting themselves. If you know that they are drug addicts or depressing, you can be different around them and encourage them to do good and positive things and prevent things such as suicide or anything similar.
