Answer: release patient information without consent

Step-by-step explanation:

The information obtained from patient during the process of diagnosis should be kept under confidentiality between the hospital staff or doctor and the patient. The information can be disclosed without patient's consent in two conditions- if the disclosure is necessarily required by law or in case of public interest. Except these two conditions if the information is disclosed without the patient's then the practice will be considered as unethical.

Hope this helps have a wonderful day!
