Non-cooperating patient in Slovak law

Patient’s adherence and compliance describe patient’s behaviour with respect to the treatment and regimen prescribed by the attending physician. The authors analyse the legal regulations of the treatment regimen and the consequences of patient’s non-compliance. The authors present the opinion that the current legislation is inconsistent and in certain cases prevents the effective enforcement of sanctions for non-compliance with the treatment regimen. De lege ferenda will be necessary to remove these shortcomings.
