The Influence of Medical Jurisprudence on Healthcare Policy and Legislation

Abstract

Mauro Berto

Medical jurisprudence, the branch of law that intersects with medicine and healthcare, plays a pivotal role in shaping healthcare policy and legislation. This article explores the profound impact of medical jurisprudence on the development, implementation and evolution of healthcare policies and laws. By examining key legal principles, landmark cases and the dynamic relationship between medicine and the law, we gain insight into how medical jurisprudence has become an indispensable factor in the formulation of healthcare regulations. The convergence of these disciplines has significant implications for patient rights, medical ethics and the overall quality of healthcare delivery.
