The European Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine Sample Clauses

The European Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine. The European Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine provides a general value framework for dealing with patients nationally, institutionally and across borders. It was adopted by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on 19th November 1996 and entered into force on 1st December 1999 after signature of the first five countries. Currently 13 countries have ratified the Convention.

As a whole, it intends to provide a common framework for the protection of human rights and dignity in both longstanding and developing areas concerning the application of biology and medicine more generally. It aims to guarantee everyone's rights and fundamental freedoms and, in particular, their integrity, and to secure the dignity and identity of human beings in this sphere. In relation to patient rights, the convention sets out a number of rules that are instructive to the ICT telehealth / telecare domain from an ethics related perspective:  An intervention in the health field may only be carried out after the person concerned has given free and informed consent to it.
