In the matter of medical care, the medical records that are made out by the medical professionals occupy a very important place in this profession as they are absolutely necessary. Furthermore, along with the patient's right of self-determination, more emphasis is put on the informed consent principle whereby there is mutual corporation between the medical professional and the patient to overcome the disease together. The Medical Treatment Law in Korea has certain regulations regarding the duty to issue medical records. However, the actual reality is that these rights are not being properly carried out with the present regulations.
