Do you know the legal foundation of Health Law?
Medical Law is related to other branches of law, such as Criminal Law, Administrative Law, Civil Law, and Labor Law, and it is also related to public and private law.

It encompasses everything related to the protection of health, the European Data Protection Regulation regarding the healthcare sector, and liability for damages caused by medical negligence.
Our medical healthcare lawyers in Madrid take into account a hierarchy, which is as follows:
- Jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice and Treaties with the European Communities, for aspects related to regulations referring to medicines and pharmaceutical sector regulations.
- The health care and the free movement of medical personnel for the purpose of exercising their functions anywhere in the community territory.
- The Spanish Constitution in Article 43 recognizes the right to health protection.
- The General Health Law establishes the obligations of the Autonomous Communities concerning healthcare and the relationship of the national health system with different private medical institutions.
- The universal nature of the healthcare system, patients’ and citizens’ rights, financing, personnel policy, and laws related to healthcare professions.
- Decree laws, ministerial orders, and resolutions of the corresponding Directorates-General also regulate the Right to Health.
Types of Liability Generated by Health Law

A. Deontological Responsibility
Deontological Responsibility arises from the failure of licensed professionals to comply with what is established in deontological norms and the internal organizations of Professional Associations for the practice of their profession.
B. Civil Liability of Healthcare Personnel
Civil Liability originates from behaviors that do not conform to the set of medical practices accepted for treating patients, resulting in an obligation to compensate for the harm caused.
A claim is initiated to seek compensation to remedy the harm caused.
C. Disciplinary Responsibilities
Disciplinary Responsibility arises from the breach of internal rules in force for healthcare personnel and doctors in the area where they perform their duties.
D. Criminal Liability
Criminal liability is caused by omissions or conduct that are classified as crimes. This leads to a criminal procedure against healthcare professionals or doctors for the injury or harm caused to a patient.
This action is taken when the harm inflicted on a patient results from criminal conduct by medical personnel.
E. Financial Liability of the Healthcare Administration
Financial Liability of the Public Administration arises when public services do not function correctly, resulting in injuries or damages to a group of patients or an individual patient entitled to compensation.
