Clinic that leaked Shakira's medical record given hefty fine

The Peruvian clinic that treated Colombian mega-star Shakira for an abdominal condition in February has been slapped with a hefty fine over the leaking of her medical record.

According to local health authorities, the clinic was fined $190,000 (PhP10.7 million).

The 48-year-old four-time Grammy-winning Colombian singer-songwriter was forced to scrap a blockbuster show in Lima in February after being rushed to hospital with an unspecified abdominal ailment.

Two days later, she was back on stage in the Peruvian capital.

Shortly after her brief hospitalization, her medical report appeared on social media, sparking widespread outrage among fans and an official investigation. 

The Delgado Auna clinic, where she was treated, said at the time it was investigating what it called a "serious ethical breach of our code of conduct and regulations governing personal data processing." 

Shakira is on her first world tour in seven years, titled "Las mujeres ya no lloran" (Women Don't Cry Anymore).
