Dear parents!
In Russian law there are only two types of representation: legal representation (parents, guardians, trustees) and representation on the basis of a power of attorney. Legally, neither a grandmother, nor a nanny, nor an older adult brother (sister) have the authority to represent the interests of the child in a medical organization.
To avoid problems, a sample of a power of attorney is posted on our website. Parents can download it in advance and fill it out for a person who will represent the interests of the child in a medical organization.
A parent can delegate the following powers to an attorney:
- sign a contract for the provision of medical services;
- make all decisions regarding the health of the child and sign voluntary informed consent for medical interventions;
- sign and make decisions on refusal of medical interventions;
- pay for treatment from the funds of the legal representative or from your own funds;
- receive complete and reliable information about the child’s health, both at the doctor’s appointment and with copies and originals of medical documentation and extracts from it.
A copy of the power of attorney is stored on the child’s medical record.
