Description: 'European Health Law' is the result of a long-term collaboration project between academic health lawyers working at various European research institutions. The result is a comprehensive volume on health law, exploring various aspects of health law. Health law - as understood by the authors - reflects a so-called triangular relationship between the patient, health provider and health financer. As such, this volume covers a wide range of topics focussing on patients' rights and duties, the role of health professionals, and health care financing and rationing, as well as public health and health related issues, such as occupational health and environmental health.
