Abstract

Consent from the patient is a very pertinent part of clinical case taking. It is in the patient’s right to know about the treating doctor, facilities in the clinic and the treatment procedure that is to be performed. Informed consent between the doctor and the patient should be mutual and explained to the patient in his own language or a language he understands. Consent is a very important aspect of maintaining medico legal records along with treatment notes, radiographs, clinical pictures and prescription record of the medicines prescribed. Medico-legal incidents around the globe have become increasingly common. Informed consent and maintenance of clear records will unequivocally benefit both the doctor and the patient. The COVID-19 has posed a threat to countries globally and governments and health authorities
all over the globe have issued stringent guidelines regarding treatment modalities of varying medical conditions, judicious selection of cases according to priority as well as the added responsibility of the health worker to inform the authorities about any probable or confirmed COVID case. This in turn will help contain the cases within a restricted area. Authors believe that an exclusive COVID-19 consent form is the need of the hour along with routine consent for a prevention of negligence and prevention of medicolegal infringement of laws.
