Talk:Health law/Sandbox
Health law or medical law is a legal discipline dealing with questions related to health, medicine and the organization and delivery of health care. The field is generally delimited to legal questions with a direct connection to health care – leaving out more ancillary fields related to health such as environmental law – but also includes legal questions related to public health, biomedical research, biotechnology and forensic medicine.[1]
Health law cuts across both private and public law and deals with questions such as the organization of public and private actors in the healthcare sector, the duties of health professionals, the rights of patients and access to healthcare services.[2]
Most health law regulation is found within national law, but the advent of international cooperation, globalization and international human rights law means that an increasing amount of international legal instruments related to health law now exist, such as the International Health Regulations, the European Convention on Bioethics and the Patients' Rights Directive.[3]
