Since long ago, a question has been the concern of the medical prachtioners, patients and their relatives: what about the likely, and probably irreparable, losses, while the patient and the prachitioner have both been in full consent on the medical process?

No doubt, the present article can reduce the worries of medical teams concerning the legal and criminal consequences of medical treatment. According to present rules, if the members of medical teams have enough expertise, their medical or surgical work is lawful and they have taken all technicall and scientific standards in to consideration, they are not taken accountable otherwise, they are legally and morally accountable (article 59, Part Two).

It describes and analyzes the present rules and regulations and tries to clearly and coherently articulate the criminal liability of medical teams according to Iranian statute law and provides reasonable and scientific suggestions where there are lacunae.
