The Public Health Code (Code de la santé publique) contains provisions on the organisation of the health system, the practice of medicine, patient rights, and public health. The Medical Ethics Code (Code de déontologie médicale), incorporated into the Public Health Code, sets professional obligations for physicians. The Social Security Code (Code de la sécurité sociale) governs the health insurance system. The Bioethics Laws (Lois de bioéthique), revised every seven years, regulate assisted reproduction, genetic testing, organ transplantation, and research involving human embryos.</p>
