Medical law focuses on the legal rights and responsibilities of both medical professionals and patients. It encompasses areas like medical negligence, consent to treatment, confidentiality, and bioethics. The aim is to ensure that patients receive safe and ethical medical care while protecting healthcare providers from unfair claims. Medical law also deals with controversial issues such as euthanasia, organ donation, and reproductive rights. It bridges healthcare and law, demanding knowledge of both fields. Legal professionals in this area must understand medical terminology and ethical standards. This branch of law plays a crucial role in regulating and maintaining trust in the healthcare system.
