Health Law and Ethics - Critical Reflections

Health Law and Ethics meets the demand of the medical fraternity to have a sourcebook dealing with varied aspects of medical law and ethics. Twenty chapters written by a team of doctors and lawyers bring in multiple perspectives for the readers’ consideration. This unique pairing enables both the medical and legal perspective to be included in every aspect. The aim of the book is threefold: to examine health law from the plural perspective of clinical practice and ethics; to convey the depth of complexity in issues of clinical practice; and to critically evaluate challenging developments in the domain of healthcare delivery. With a crisp and clear layout, the book is designed for easy reading and understanding. It is aimed at healthcare workers, healthcare administrators, lawyers, members of the Judiciary and subject-specific tribunals, and particularly students of the Post-Graduate Diploma in Medical Law Ethics at National Law School or elsewhere.
