XII. ETHICO-LEGAL ISSUE(S)
Legal concerns arise in all areas of health care such as negligence or malpractice. They
are legal concerns because the elements involved are acts of crime which the health care provider
does omission and commission.
In our case we did not observed this legal aspects that affects our client’s right. Indeed,
when we ask her if she’s satisfied to the care rendered to her by the health care providers in the
medical institution she’s been admitted for delivering her first born baby girl, she said YES. She
went to a hospital which promotes the MDG 4(reduce child mortality) and 5(improve maternal
health).
We must ensure that all childbearing women have access to information and care that is
based on the best scientific evidence now available, and that they understand and have
opportunities to exercise their right to make health care decisions.
