Abstract
The doctrine of patient consent to medical intervention, as a compulsory procedure, emerged in the forties of the twentieth century. However, up until the present the problem of obtaining patient consent cannot be considered conclusively resolved. One of the intervention legality criteria is the patient's complete (sufficient) awareness of the proposed medical intervention.
Highlights
Article 20 of the Federal Law "On Basics of Health Protection of the Citizens in the Russian Federation" lists the information that a medical professional must provide to a patient before obtaining his/her consent to medical intervention
The terms used in federal regulations, i.e., "complete, reliable, sufficient information", do not have clear legal definitions
The vagueness of the list of pieces of information that must be provided to the patient prior to the registration of his/ her consent to medical intervention, such consent relying on complete awareness, creates difficulties in the exercising of the patient's right to personal integrity
Summary
Ключевые слова: права пациента, информированное добровольное согласие пациента, медицинское вмешательство, право на личную неприкосновенность, информированность пациента, полная (достаточная) информация, обязанности медицинских работников.
