摘要
Informed consent is a legal requirement to be fulfilled before any procedure is carried out in clinical practice. It has wide ramification and different interpretations in the present healthcare system. Free and informed consent is required for medical treatments and procedures, except in an emergency situation when informed consent cannot be obtained and there is no indication that a reasonable patient would refuse consent to treatment. Increasing litigations and other ethical considerations have prompted us to review this subject with a review of literature on subject and inferences by different experts in this field.
