2. Parental Rights and Responsibilities

Parental rights and responsibilities in Children's Health Law refer to the legal authority and obligations parents have regarding their children's health care decisions. This includes the right to make choices about medical treatment, consent to procedures, access medical records, and ensure their child's well-being. Parents are also responsible for acting in their child’s best interests, providing necessary care, and making informed decisions. These rights can be affected by factors like custody arrangements or specific laws governing minors' health care in different regions. Ultimately, it's about balancing the child's needs with the parents' legal authority to act on their behalf.
