Book Description
Medical malpractice, perceived and actual, especially in the current environment of fast paced technological advances, is among the most critical health issues in India today. Related litigation has been increasing year by year, especially since the coming into force of the Consumer Protection Act. 1986. This book provides a comprehensive and detailed survey of the law under the Consumer Protection Act, the law of torts, as well as the Penal Code. It explains how the law operates in the country in the background of increasing doctor- patient conflict and rights consciousness among patients, the ignorance of doctors about law, and the complex problems faced by doctors in public hospitals. It analyses all major cases to date. In parts it addresses doctors in particular and provides guidelines and check lists to help them avoid charges of negligence. It throws significant light on issues relating to medicine and ethics, the duties of doctors, the rights and responsibilities of patients, defences available to doctors, likely areas of litigation in individual medical specialities and types of surgery, and the 'consent' of patients. The book also examines relevant law and cases from other countries.

Book Description
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this convenient volume provides comprehensive analysis of the law affecting the physician-patient relationship in India. Cutting across the traditional compartments with which lawyers are familiar, medical law is concerned with issues arising from this relationship, and not with the many wider juridical relations involved in the broader field of health care law. After a general introduction, the book systematically describes law related to the medical profession, proceeding from training, licensing, and other aspects of access to the profession, through disciplinary and professional liability and medical ethics considerations and quality assurance, to such aspects of the physician-patient relationship as rights and duties of physicians and patients, consent, privacy, and access to medical records. Also covered are specific issues such as organ transplants, human medical research, abortion, and euthanasia, as well as matters dealing with the physician in relation to other health care providers, health care insurance, and the health care system. Succinct and practical, this book will prove to be of great value to professional organizations of physicians, nurses, hospitals, and relevant government agencies. Lawyers representing parties with interests in India will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its comparative value as a contribution to the study of medical law in the international context.
