Health services in the last half century; with the technological developments in medicine and the increase of the masses (patients) that need to be delivered to health services, they became more industrial. Parallel to this development, many radical changes have occurred in the positioning of the patients in front of this giant organization. In this context, the concepts such as the right to health and the rights of the patients, which are the derivative of the right to life, have become the main regulatory norms of the provision of health services.As it will be understood, the relationship between the patient and the health service providers (physician, hospital, etc.) in the direction of medical diagnosis and treatment now requires more legal grounds.

These developments have led to a rapidly increasing number of legal disputes between patients and health care providers, especially in developed countries such as the United States. The patients started to question the medical diagnosis and treatment methods and their results.Thus, there has been a noticeable increase in cases of medical malpractice.

Medical malpractice covers the full range of, conditions ranging from the delay in the recovery of the disease to the death of the patient, beyond the normal course of the disease, as a result of the recommendations of health personnel, suggestions or practices.Among the reasons for the increase in the claims of medical malpractice are various medical, legal and social factors such as the continuous innovation in medicine and the rapid dissemination of these to the whole society, the increase of consciousness and education level of the society, the development of the insurance system and the struggle for seeking rights. Medical malpractice allegations against physicians have been increasing in recent years in our country.

Health law is the legal unit that covers the rights of individuals receiving health services in this field. We think that it is worth noting that this issue has been examined and analyzed in terms of criminal law with administrative law. Health policies, which are open to change with the new period, are gaining more and more importance together with health and medical law.

Why are there Health and Medicine Law?

Together with the physicians, the patients must know their rights and act in a conscious manner. This law will also contribute to the development of the medical world and to specialize physicians in their field.This is why it is important for the parties to act consciously in this field and to learn the rights they have.
