This book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the issues relating to medical law and ethics in Malaysia, with a predominantly practical perspective. While a substantial part of this book is devoted to the constituent elements which make up the tort of clinical negligence, other legal and ethical issues relating to the practice of medicine and the provision of healthcare, such as patients’ autonomy, confidentiality, consent, issues on abortion and medically assisted dying are also explored in some detail. Medical and legal practitioners, as well as students from both fraternities can expect to benefit from this book.
