Some steps have been taken to use blockchain technology to store, protect, and make patient data decentralized.

Because in most hospitals around the world, patient data can be easily manipulated, and some people manage this data and benefit from it.

Do you think it's right to store patient data on the blockchain? Is it safer and more privacy-oriented?

I am thinking how would it work. I am not a fan of storing a huge amount of data in the public ledger, but i think that zero knowledge proof could benefit that area a lot because there is a lot of sensitive information in healthcare that needs proof but i myself for example don't like when one doctor can look up my whole embarassing medical history.
