Summary/Abstract: The field of medical activity is undoubtedly one of the most demanding, not only in terms of organization and financing, but also in terms of communication and, unfortunately, ensuring the safety of all participants – patients, their families, and medical personnel. This undoubtedly requires finding and updating systemic solutions. The provisions of the current Constitution provide a significant, yet sparse, normative framework in this regard, and it is primarily the responsibility of lawmaker to find a normative response to the problem of healing relationships in the healthcare system. The aim of this study is to identify the key legal aspects of the discussed issue in the context of the systemic framework and to indicate possible directions, opportunities and limitations in shaping the relationship between healthcare professionals and patients.
