Summary/Abstract: The condition for the provision of health services is patient’s consent. The basis for its granting is reliable information provided by the doctor in a manner understandable to the recipient. Based on the information provided, the patient makes his own decision on the use of the health service or refuses to make use of this possibility. This does not apply to minors for whom the decision is made by parents or other entities exercising custody over him. In the event of disagreement with the provision of health services, despite the existence of medical indications or in the event of a conflict of positions of entities authorized to express it, the initiative is taken over by the guardianship court.
