Individual Health Law

The health law is a branch of law that combines public law and private law, and it includes many issues such as sanction law, compensation law, and strict liability. When it comes to health law, although only the physician's legal responsibility comes to mind, the health law that reflects the legal dimension of medical science, which is a comprehensive and detailed discipline, can be applied in a wide range of areas.

Contracts to be used in the relationship that private hospitals will establish with the patient, informed consent forms, legal responsibilities of physicians and other healthcare personnel, sanctions and penalties to be applied in case of non-compliance, and also its connection with administrative law due to the responsibility of the State in public hospitals have made the specialized knowledge of law necessary for the patients, hospitals and physicians.

Nowadays, "malpractice", which we call occupational error, is observed in medical practices, and medical malpractice cases come to the forefront. The percentage distribution of medical science application areas related to malpractice was determined according to the statistics compiled by the chamber of physicians and those with the highest rates were indicated in the table. When the table is examined, it is noteworthy that malpractice is observed in a considerable number, and among these percentages, not only the physical errors made by the physician but also the legal errors have a high rate. For example, medical malpractice includes the intervention of the physician, except in some emergency cases, performed without obtaining the consent of the patient in accordance with the law. In this respect, the consent of the patient should be obtained with the assistance of a lawyer in all medical interventions starting from the first examination of the patient, and any sanctions should be prevented in this way. In particular, within the scope of the legal responsibility of the physician, physicians and healthcare personnel need legal support in the preventive sense, and after the faulty intervention has occurred, the aggrieved patients or their relatives need legal support. 

Another area of application of health law comes to life in the pharmaceutical sector. In this context, intertwined with the intellectual property law, legal support is needed in the patents and registration processes of the drugs produced, in the process of obtaining licenses for the sales of drugs, and in the drafting of contracts concluded with the distribution companies for the distribution of drugs.
