论强制医疗启动程序决定主体

强制医疗制度是国家医疗保健制度的有机组成部分,强制医疗有广义与狭义之分。狭义的强制医疗,如实施危害行为的精神病患者、甲类传染病患者等;广义的强制医疗,包括预防接种、指定医保单位就医等。强制医疗程序启动的决定主体必须是国家赋予相应权力的机关,其他任何单位不具有这样的权力,因而无权决定强制医疗程序启动。强制医疗主体的确定取决于强制医疗对象的危害程度、广度及时间等因素。

The Body Deciding the Initiation of Compulsory Medical Treatment

The compulsory health care system is an integral part of the national health care system. There are broad and narrow definitions of compulsory health care. The narrow compulsory health care refers to the treatment of psychiatric patients con- ducting harmful behavior and patients with Class A infectious diseases. The broad compulsory medical treatment includes vac- cination and medical treatment in designated health care units. Compulsory medical procedures must be initiated by institutions with authorities given by the State. Any other unit that has no such power could not decide to start compulsory medical treat- ment. The organ that has the right to initiate compulsory medical care should be determined based on the extent of hazards of the person and the time factor.
