Introduction:
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the health care law of the Central and East European countries. This book aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the legal issues arising from this crisis, with a particular focus on the challenges and opportunities presented by the pandemic.

Dualism and the System of Health Care Law:
Central and East European countries have traditionally followed a dualistic system of health care law, which divides health care into public and private sectors. The public sector is primarily funded by the government and provides universal health care coverage to all citizens. The private sector, on the other hand, is operated by private companies and offers private health insurance and medical services.

Legal Personality in the Field of Health Care:
The legal personality of health care providers is an important issue in the field of health care law. Health care providers are entities that provide health care services, such as hospitals, clinics, and physicians. The legal personality of these providers determines their rights and responsibilities under the law. In Central and East European countries, health care providers are generally considered legal persons, which means that they have the same rights and responsibilities as natural persons.

Property Rights and Turnover of Human Tissues:
The property rights and turnover of human tissues are also important issues in the field of health care law. Human tissues, such as organs, tissues, and cells, are valuable resources that can be used for medical research, treatment, and transplantation. The property rights and turnover of human tissues are governed by various legal frameworks, including intellectual property law and human tissue law.

Moral Rights in the Field of Health Care:
Moral rights in the field of health care are concerned with the rights of patients to make decisions about their own health care. These rights include the right to access health care services, the right to informed consent, and the right to privacy. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of moral rights in the field of health care, as patients have been forced to make difficult decisions about their own health care in the face of limited resources and healthcare capacity.

Intellectual Ownership in the Field of Medicine and Pharmacy:
Intellectual ownership in the field of medicine and pharmacy is an important issue in the field of health care law. Intellectual property law governs the rights and interests of inventors, innovators, and researchers in the field of medicine and pharmacy. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in the use of digital technologies in the field of medicine and pharmacy, which has raised concerns about intellectual ownership and the protection of intellectual property.

Contracts on Health Care and Contracts onRendering Medical Services:
Contracts on health care and contracts on rendering medical services are essential components of the health care system. These contracts govern the relationships between health care providers and patients, as well as between health care providers and other stakeholders in the health care system. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of these contracts, as they have been used to allocate resources and manage the spread of the virus.

Legal Relationships of Transplantology, Post-Mortem Reproduction, and Donorship:
Transplantology, post-mortem reproduction, and donorship are important areas of health care law that involve the transfer of biological materials and the reproduction of human beings. The legal relationships of these areas are governed by various legal frameworks, including human tissue law and intellectual property law. The COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns about the safety and ethical implications of these practices, as well as the legal implications of the transfer of biological materials.

Features of Family Personal Property Rights in the Field of Health Care:
Family personal property rights in the field of health care are concerned with the rights of individuals to control and use their own biological materials and health information. These rights are important in the context of genetic testing, medical research, and the use of personal health information. The COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns about the privacy and security of personal health information, as well as the rights of individuals to control their own biological materials.

Problems of Legal Regulation of Medical Workers' Labor:
The legal regulation of medical workers' labor is an important issue in the field of health care law. Medical workers are responsible for providing high-quality health care services to patients, and their labor is essential to the functioning of the health care system. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the risks and challenges faced by medical workers, as they have been exposed to high levels of risk and have been required to work long hours and under difficult conditions.

Investigates Private Legal Relationships of Surrogate Motherhood with Foreign Elements:
Surrogate motherhood is a practice in which a woman agrees to carry and give birth to a child for another person or couple. The legal relationships of surrogate motherhood with foreign elements are governed by various legal frameworks, including international law and domestic law. The COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns about the safety and ethical implications of surrogate motherhood, as well as the legal implications of the transfer of biological materials and the reproduction of human beings.

Alternative Resolution of Health Care Disputes:
The alternative resolution of health care disputes is an important aspect of health care law. Alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation and arbitration, can help to resolve disputes between health care providers and patients without the need for litigation. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of alternative dispute resolution methods, as they can help to reduce the burden on the health care system and ensure that disputes are resolved quickly and efficiently.

Impact of Pandemic on the Effective Health Rights Protection:
The impact of the pandemic on the effective health rights protection is a significant issue. The pandemic has highlighted the vulnerability of the health care system and the importance of ensuring that health rights are protected and promoted. The COVID-19 pandemic has also highlighted the need for increased investment in the health care system, as well as the need for improved access to health care services.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the health care law of the Central and East European countries. This book aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the legal issues arising from this crisis, with a particular focus on the challenges and opportunities presented by the pandemic. The book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners engaged in health care rights protection, as well as judges and practicing lawyers, graduate and undergraduate students.
