DOI: https://doi.org/The topic of "Civil liability for violations of patients' rights due to the actions of others" is of great importance. This importance stems from the fact that it balances two interests. The first is the patient's interest in protecting him/her and obtaining appropriate compensation for him/her. The second is the patient's interest in controlling his/her relationship with others. There does exist cases where a medical provider uses other people to do medical work. This happens either because the medical work is dangerous, or because of the necessary need to benefit from a specific medical specialty required by the type of medical work to be done. Liability for the act of a third party in the medical context means the liability of the medical provider due to the damage caused to him/her by the auxiliary doctors, nurses and other members of the medical staff. So, we will discuss the liability arising from the actions of third parties on the basis of the rules of contractual liability and on the basis of the rules of damage through two sections.
