Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que el comité de salud de una ciudad se reúne para discutir un nuevo programa de salud. Durante la reunión, se comparten datos sensibles sobre pacientes. Después, los miembros del comité no pueden contar lo que escucharon a otras personas, excepto si esa información ya es pública.
