Article R4127-4 of the French Public Health Code

Professional secrecy, established in the interests of patients, is binding on all doctors under the conditions laid down by law.

Confidentiality covers everything that comes to the doctor’s knowledge in the exercise of his profession, i.e. not only what has been entrusted to him, but also what he has seen, heard or understood.

Le secret couvre tout ce qui est venu à la connaissance du médecin dans l’exercice de sa profession, c’est-à-dire non seulement ce qui lui a été confié, mais aussi ce qu’il a vu, entendu ou compris.
