Abstract

Health centers are medical centers and by offering health services today have different features in the process of recovery and achieving the goal of health care. However sometimes, actions or ignorance of the health center staff leads to damage that if this negligence is consistent with of any of the principles of responsibility including fault and risk, and the terms of the pillars of responsibility are provided will bring about the civil liability of health centers for the affected patients. By granting consent, the health center tries to reduce their responsibility. Although this consent shall not be a civil liability of health centers, it exempts them from criminal responsibility. However, only few health centers get consent from the patients or the patient's legal representatives before treatment or during the treatment and if heavy errors are committed, this might be the health center's exemption from civil liability.
