What about medical rights/decisions regarding another patient?

A patient can grant a mandate to a representative. This happens when the patient is no longer able to make decisions regarding healthcare.

For more information, contact the ombuds service of your hospital.

Are you a foster parent? Then you may be able to consult the medical record of your foster child. Contact the ombuds service of your hospital for more information.

Is a person aged 18 or older (partially or fully) no longer able to take care of themselves? Then a legal guardian can be appointed to make, among other things, medical decisions.

Want to know more? The ombuds service of your hospital will gladly assist you.

Within the hospital, you can be a healthcare proxy holder for another patient. You then make decisions about his or her medical care, within the limits of the mandate.

Do you have questions about this? Contact the ombuds service of your hospital.
