[HEALTH LAW ARTICLE]

The vocation of a medical practitioner is to examine and treat patients and take care of patients, regardless of rich or poor because once a patient, everyone is equal. But whether there are cases where a doctor has the right to refuse medical examination and treatment without violating the law or professional ethics, let's find out with MEDLAW about this information.

Pursuant to Article 32 of the 2009 Law on Medical Examination and Treatment on the Right to refuse medical examination and treatment, a doctor is entitled to refuse medical examination and treatment in the following cases:
1. To refuse medical examination and treatment if, in the course of medical examination and treatment, the prognosis of the disease is beyond their ability or contrary to the scope of their professional activities, but must report it to a competent person or gender. refer patients to other medical examination and treatment establishments for treatment. In this case, the practitioner still has to perform first aid, give first aid, monitor, care for and treat the patient until the patient is transferred to another medical examination and treatment establishment.
2. To refuse medical examination and treatment if such medical examination and treatment is contrary to the provisions of law or professional ethics.

Therefore, not in all cases the doctor has to treat the patient. We can understand that doctors still have the right to refuse medical examination and treatment if the prognosis is beyond their ability or contrary to the scope of their professional activities; or cases contrary to the provisions of law or professional ethics. For example, a patient comes to the emergency room at a commune health station but his condition is diagnosed as acute appendicitis by the doctor, has a surgical prognosis, is not suitable with the capacity and scope of activities of the health station. At that time, the doctor needs to guide the patient to the upper level with the appropriate specialty for timely examination and treatment. At that time, the doctor's refusal to accept the patient is in accordance with the law.
