The meaning of health law:

(1) Health Law is a domestic law based on the differences in political, economic, cultural and historical traditions among countries in the world.

This determines that there are huge, even essential differences in health undertakings and management in different countries.

Therefore, the health law is not an international law recognized by the general international community, but a legal norm formulated by the legislature of a sovereign country on the basis of the constitution and applicable to that country. As a domestic law, health law has no international effect and does not need international recognition.

(2) Health Law is a legal norm to regulate the development of national health undertakings and adjust the relationship between health administrative organs and private parties.

From the perspective of the development process of national health undertakings adjusted by the health law, the basic social relations involved in the health law mainly include:

First, adjust the management authority and division of labor of the central and local health administrative organs. For example, the second paragraph of Article 8 of the Law on Medical Practitioners in People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates: "The unified examination method for medical qualifications shall be formulated by the health administrative department of the State Council. The qualification examination for doctors shall be organized and implemented by the health administrative department of the people's government at or above the provincial level. "

Second, adjust the relationship between the government and medical institutions. For example, Article 9 of the Regulations on the Administration of Medical Institutions stipulates: "The establishment of medical institutions by units or individuals must be examined and approved by the health administrative department of the local people's government at or above the county level-"

Third, adjust the relationship between medical institutions and patients, that is, the doctor-patient relationship. For example, Article 24 of the Measures for the Administration of Nurses in People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates: "Nurses shall not disclose the privacy of medical patients in their practice activities, except as otherwise provided by law."

(3) The Health Law stipulates a vertical health administrative relationship with command and obedience as the basic content and subordination as the basic feature.

The Health Law stipulates the vertical health administrative relationship with orders and obedience as the basic content and obedience as the basic feature. In this relationship, the existence of the government and the exercise of its administrative power are a necessary condition.

On the one hand, the government is the executor of state administrative power and the main body of administrative activities; On the other hand, once an administrative organ is established, its actions have certain coercive power, so the implementation of its specific administrative actions must follow certain rules and procedures.

Of course, the health administrative law also gives other subjects of health administrative relations a certain legal status, stipulates their rights and activities, and makes them meet the requirements of national will and public welfare.
