Hi there,
It used to be "five years" when we used to have separate store rooms etc etc..
But in this era of computerisation, it is better if we store the records for more time , maybe even for life time ! After all, this is an era of "paperless offices" , dont you agree ?
So.. "less storage space and less mental tension for doctors" !
best wishes !

Till the life of patient. These days, it is easy.. You can store it in CD or own computer.

All of your life. Anything from any doctors you've every visited should be included in your file.
