Health law encompasses matters – both advisory and judicial – related to healthcare institutions, practitioners, and other stakeholders in the field.

Defective products, poorly executed operations that may engage the liability of a practitioner and/or a healthcare institution, prevention or action – the involvement of a lawyer can be justified for various reasons in health law.

The interdisciplinarity of the subjects is sometimes necessary, considering perspectives from the practitioner, the patient, the manufacturer, the producer, as well as fiscal, social, corporate law viewpoints, and even criminal law perspectives.

The courts to be approached in case of a dispute can be administrative courts, judicial courts, or other jurisdictions such as the regional compensation commissions for medical accident victims (CRCI).
