Legal | Health Care Law: Patient & Doctor Rights & Regulations

The SA Medical Association affirms the constitutional rights entrenched in Chapter 2 (Bill of Rights) of the South African Constitution (Act 108 of 1996). It realises that both doctors and patients have rights and responsibilities that are exercised in very real life situations. These rights can be translated into possible practical situations faced by both doctors and patients on a daily basis, which we will be discussing today.
