Description

The book examines the role of law in regulating public health services. The Primary goal of Medical and healthcare laws is to maintain and improve the quality of human health and life. The Book takes note of changes in legal and medical landscapes that pose new problems, challenges and risks to, both medical professionals as well as their patients. The Book further seeks to appraise the healthcare fraternity regarding the relevant statutory laws on health and how they are applied and interpreted by the Courts. It provides a unique perspective of health-related laws and brings to light their importance as a tool for providing justice to medico-health practitioners, as also to those who right to privacy or confidentiality about medical treatment/records is violated. The entire law governing public and private health has been conceptualised, discussed and analysed with excerpts from decided case law.
