Synergy functioning of human medicine and medical law in health activity

Although there are only three professions in the world: medicine, law and priesthood (the others are skills, crafts, occupations, etc.), the paper deals with only two of them, human medicine and medical law, regarding their joint actions and benefits that people can expect. In addition to perceiving of synergistic activities, the authors explore whether each state designs a correct national strategy in its health policy, whether it is aimed at developing a modern and contented health system, the improvement of the health quality of the population, extension of human life, application of modern medical knowledge and does it predict the up-to-date control of the use of available resources? While human medicine is being glorified because of the high quality of human health, medical law provokes contradictory opinions of general and professional public, since the laws, measures, regulations and other legal instruments are used in order to regulate the health system and to control its business processes. Many argue that this is an unnecessary, unprincipled, superfluous and irritating interference in the domain of medicine, which brings more damage than benefits. For them, the mentioned processes have purely medical character and therefore consider that their control (when necessary) can be performed exclusively by healthcare professionals, individually or through professional associations and / or chambers. Other authors deny the aforementioned opinions using arguments as: the rapid development of medical science, a large number of health institutions, sectors and services, and its strong dependence on economic, technical and legal logistics. The conflict of opinions is best negated by the practice, because medical law represents a very important compounder of the health system, since it protects the rights of insured and health workers and fosters the trust of citizens in human medicine.
