Commentary on Medical Liability under the Tort Liability Section of the Civil Code: Articles 1218-1228

This book provides a detailed commentary on the provisions related to medical liability under the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, explicitly focusing on Articles 1218 to 1228 within the "Medical Liability" section of the Tort Liability chapter. It examines five critical aspects of medical liability: liability arising from medical malpractice; product liability involving drugs, disinfectants, medical devices, and blood defects; liability for breaches of patient privacy and personal information; liability for violations of informed consent in medical treatment; and liability for excessive medical intervention. Adopting a standard commentary format, each article is analyzed under headings such as "Purpose of the Provision," "Legislative History and Comparative Laws," "Content of the Provision," and "Burden of Proof." This comprehensive approach offers readers valuable insights into China's legislative and judicial framework governing medical liability.
