The deadlines are different, and they are different for different "types" of medical data, and also for different age groups of the patient, but essentially this is what it's like in Germany as well. Even more so, once a deadline has passed, providers would actually be obliged to pro-actively delete old data (likely even from records of active patients) unless they deem it necessary for either legal self-protection or for continued care. No need for the patient to demand deletion. However, nearly no one does that (pro-active deletion).
