Violating the duty to protect personal data is not only contrary to ethics and professional standards but also a crime defined in the penal code. Due to their profession, physicians, dentists, veterinarians, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals (including medical students) are obliged to safeguard the information they learn. Disclosing personal data also entails liability for damages. The Turkish Penal Code's Article 136 regulates the crime of "giving or acquiring personal data unlawfully" as follows:

The right to healthcare, defined in many fields, refers to an individual's ability to seek protection and treatment for their health from the state and, subsequently, from all units of society, utilizing all the opportunities provided by the state and society to continuously improve and maintain their health.

According to Article 13 of the Turkish Medical Association's Medical Ethics Rules, "Harm to a patient due to incompetence, inexperience, or indifference represents 'poor practice of medicine.'"

The most significant common denominator between medicine and law is the human factor. A person's ability to live a healthy life and sustain it brings along certain rights and responsibilities. Fundamental rights and freedoms of an individual are intertwined with the preservation of life, bodily integrity, and the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle

There are numerous claims of medical malpractice in emergency medicine. Unfortunately, many doctors and healthcare professionals are being complained about for alleged medical malpractice.

In recent times, the challenging conditions faced by doctors and other healthcare professionals have received unprecedented attention in the media. While these problems were not new, they have now become impossible to conceal, leading the media to closely monitor and report on these issues. As an expert in healthcare law and through our long-standing collaboration with the Medical Malpractice Association, specializing in health law and specifically in medical malpractice, our aim has been to educate doctors on their rights and responsibilities, prevent them from feeling helpless in legal situations, and transform the law into a shield that protects them rather than a threat. In addition to the preventive activities we have undertaken for healthcare professionals, we have provided medico-legal support to doctors facing or considering legal actions.
