The sistematic recording and monitoring of chronic diseases is relevant for the planning of public health services in every country. A disease register represent a documentation of all the cases diagnosticated with a particulary disease in a defined population. Based on the information included in this registers it is possible to achieve objectives as monitoring the disease evolution and patient’s care, improving the activity in public health sector (reorganization of services, resource allocation, prioritization of intervention measures) and increasing the level of medical knowledge which may support good medical practice in this field. Beyond the importance of the disease registers in achieving these objectives, they can be expensive and sensitive from ethical point of view due to the need of respecting the civil rights and liberties.
