Česká republika a Úmluva Rady Evropy o bioetice

The Convention concerning bioethics represents an appeal to, and an obligation for the Czech health institutions, health service administration, and public authorities. There are no principal differences be­ tween the Czech health care law and the basic duties entailed in the Convention. The particular institutes of the health care law are, however, too vague and general. Given the current justice efficiency judicature cannot be expected. It is not possible either to be based on ethical codes without any legal binding. A long-term parallel revision of health care law is therefore desirable. We have to welcome any show of interest among both legislators and government authorities. A discussion between professionals and public mentioned in art. 28 of the Convention is also desirable,
