**Answer:** Yes. Kenya's Mental Health Act gives you the right to information about your health status and clinical records, and the Data Protection Act gives you the right to access personal data held about you. Ask the facility in writing. You can ask for inaccurate information to be corrected. If you cannot exercise this right, a supporter, representative or guardian may access it for you.
