About this statute

The provision says the health system must promote public health, protect equal and non-discriminatory access, and set duties for regions, municipalities, private companies, and health service providers. The minister may set detailed rules, local authorities issue health cards and handle applications, and patients generally need informed consent before treatment. Patients have rights to information and, in some cases, to refuse information; health personnel must help ensure informed consent and patient participation. The section sets rules for patient self-determination in special medical situations, including when treatment may be withheld, when informed consent is required, and when a treatment testament is binding. Patients can control how certain biological material and genetic information are used, and some health professionals and the minister have related duties and rule-making powers.
