Do you think any/all individual medical information should be completely private? Should public servants need to publicly disclose health issue?

It depends on who the public servant is and whether their health issue affects their ability to do their job.
There are lots of circumstances where it is acceptable for your doctor to share private medical information about you, regardless of who you are.
In the UK for instance if you have severe obstructive sleep apnea and don’t get treatment for it then the health service will tell the driver and vehicle licensing agency and have your drivers licence medically revoked. Same if you have really bad eyesight and don’t wear glasses.
In the US it is clear that Trump has dementia and God only knows how many other severe illnesses or conditions. His doctors are doing a public disservice by not releasing that information.
