Article 26. Consent to Medical Intervention

On protecting the health of citizens (265-I-son) · Date: 29.08.1996 · In force

Informed voluntary consent of the citizen shall be a necessary precondition for medical intervention.

Where the citizenʼs condition precludes the expression of his or her will and medical intervention cannot be delayed, the matter of carrying out medical intervention in the interests of the citizen shall be decided by a medical council (consilium), and if it is impossible to convene such a council, by the attending (on-duty) physician, with subsequent notification of the officials of the treatment-and-prophylactic institution.

With respect to persons under the age of fourteen and citizens declared legally incapable in accordance with the law, consent to medical intervention shall be given by their legal representatives. In the absence of parents or other legal representatives, the decision on medical intervention shall be taken by a medical council, and, if it is impossible to convene such a council, by the attending (on-duty) physician, with subsequent notification of the officials of the treatment-and-prophylactic institution and the patientʼs legal representatives.
