HAR §11-168-3. Notification

(a) Any physician having under his care or supervision a person with a disease believed to be Hansen’s disease shall report the disease promptly to the department. (b) The superintendent or management of any hospital in which a diagnosis of Hansen’s disease is made after admission shall promptly inform the attending physician and report the diagnosis to the department. This does not relieve the physician of the primary responsibility for notifying the department. (c) Any person in charge of a laboratory in which the examination of any specimen yields evidence of the possible presence of Hansen’s disease shall report such findings to the department. [Eff.
