Document background
The Medical Waiver Of Liability Form is an essential document in Belgian healthcare practice, designed to establish clear boundaries of liability while maintaining compliance with strict Belgian patient protection laws. This document is typically used before medical procedures, treatments, or clinical trials to ensure patients are fully informed of risks and voluntarily consent to proceed. It includes specific provisions required by Belgian law, including informed consent documentation, risk disclosures, and explicit preservation of statutory patient rights. The form must be drafted in accordance with the Belgian Patient Rights Act, healthcare regulations, and civil code requirements, making it suitable for use in both public and private healthcare settings. It's particularly important that the document maintains a balance between protecting healthcare providers from unwarranted liability while ensuring patients retain their fundamental rights under Belgian law.
