Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine alternative dispute resolution methods for conflicts and damages arising from healthcare services, with particular emphasis on the procedures of conciliation boards. While the primary function of conciliation boards is to handle consumer disputes out of court, their procedures may also be applicable to certain healthcare-related conflicts. The paper outlines the specific conditions that allow for the application of this procedure and highlights recent legislative developments that have improved the efficiency of conciliation board proceedings. These developments may also serve as a model for the reform and improvement of the healthcare mediation procedure as well.
