Statute overview

About this statute

This provision introduces the health law and sets several duties for health authorities and providers, including non-discrimination, proper organization of treatment sites, language competence, and instructions for patient safety. Section 80 sets rules for health benefits, health cards, and who decides or issues them. The provision sets rules for informed consent and patient information, gives patients rights to receive or refuse information, and assigns powers to the minister and the Patient Safety Authority. Section 20 sets rules for patient self-determination in special medical situations, including consent, refusal of treatment, and treatment-testament registration. Patients can restrict use of certain biological material and genetic information to their own treatment and closely related purposes, and the minister must create and regulate the register for those decisions.
