ABOUT WAML
The World Association for Medical Law (WAML) was established and the first Congress was held in Ghent, Belgium in 1967.
The purpose of the WAML is to encourage the study and discussion of health law, legal medicine and ethics, for the benefit of society and the advancement of human rights. The aim of the WAML is to promote the study of the consequences in jurisprudence, legislation and ethics of developments in medicine, health care and related sciences.
Since its creation the WAML held 26 World Congresses, and used its International Journal Medicine and Law for the publication of more than 2000 articles of authors from more than 100 countries. The Association engages in educational activities and aims to promote discussion and deliberation among academic and non academic channels, through its bi-monthly Members Newsletter, its regular Radio Program and more.
If you are interested in taking part in these activities and join our growing WAML family, you may apply for membership online.

Please find herewith the link to more information about this book: https://www.e-elgar.com/shop/gbp/privacy-and-medical-confidentiality-in-healthcare-9781035309429.html Informed Consent and Health - A Global Analysis Informed consent is the legal instrument that purports to protect an individual’s autonomy and defends against medical arbitrariness. Informed Consent and Health highlights that possession of complete information about all relevant aspects of a proposed treatment is integral to the ability of a patient to make an informed choice. With patient choice at both legislative and judicial levels rising to greater levels of prominence, this timely book examines how the tensions between the rights of patients to make choices and the duties of doctors to provide health care are managed. |
