Abstract

225 EDITORIAL Health-Law towards the 21st Century I am grateful for the opportunity which has been so kindly given to me to write the Editorial of the third issue of the European Journal of Health Law, on the occasion of the 10th World Congress on Medical Law which will be held in Israel from August 28, 1994 to September 1,1994. About a thousand speakers and participants are expected to attend this unique gathering; many of them, I'm sure, will have an interest in this new Journal! Twelve years ago, its elder brother was bom, carrying the name of Medicine and Law. The title of the new Journal symbolizes the change which occurred during the last decade or two, as Health Law occupies the position of Medical Law. In past generations, medico-legal discussions were confined to medi- cal negligence. Malpractice will be discussed at length in the coming years, too. Human activities necessarily entail misjudgments, errors, and wrong out- comes. No wonder that dubious treatment and harmful consequences arouse emotions, provoke curiousity and stir sup strife.-However, malpractice will not take up the focus of health ,law iii generations to come. The field of Health Law comprises innumerable subject matters.
