médical error in plastic surgir

Abstract

The medical field is generally regarded as one of the humanitarian fields aimed at freeing individuals from pain or alleviating it, and a doctor enjoys legal protection in the exercise of his work, provided that he respects legal and professional obligations, otherwise he may be held legally accountable,

Cosmetic surgeries have become a necessity imposed by society with its openness to the great medical and technological development that these surgeries are witnessing, as they aim to improve the external appearance of the body by correcting abnormalities and congenital defects, or simply for aesthetic purposes to enhance the beauty of the body in many cases,

Despite the importance of this kind of surgical intervention in certain medical conditions and its remarkable spread in recent years, the Algerian legislator remains isolated from keeping pace with legislative development in this field, as it has only been regulated by the general rules of the Health Law and the Code of Professional Ethics, thus creating a significant legislative vacuum.
