The legal framework integrates constitutional provisions on health as a universal right, the <strong>Federal Council of Medicine</strong> (CFM) regulatory authority, the <strong>Unified Health System</strong> (SUS), and civil and criminal liability regimes. The field has grown significantly with advances in medical technology, the expansion of telemedicine, and increased judicial oversight of healthcare delivery.</p>
