Law and Ethics Relating To Medical Profession [Revised Edition] By Dr. Puteri Nemie Jahn Kassim | 2026

Medical law has developed into an increasingly important field of legal scholarship. Developments in medical science and technology, together with the growing recognition of patient autonomy, have transformed the relationship between law, ethics, and medicine. The rights of patients, responsibilities of healthcare professionals, and accountability of healthcare institutions are increasingly governed by a comprehensive framework of legislation, regulatory requirements, professional standards, ethical guidelines, and judicial decisions.

In Law and Ethics Relating to Medical Profession, Professor Dr Puteri Nemie Jahn Kassim examines major medico-legal issues and equips readers with an understanding of the legal and ethical principles that regulate medical practice. The updated edition addresses significant areas such as informed consent, confidentiality, medical negligence, reproductive health, end-of-life care, and mental health. It therefore serves as a valuable reference for understanding the complex issues arising at the intersection of law, ethics, and medicine.

Professor Dr Puteri Nemie Jahn Kassim holds a PhD in Law and is a Professor at the Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah of Laws, International Islamic University Malaysia. She has extensive experience in medical law and has published widely on the subject in both local and international academic journals.
