This research aims to determine whether in Malaysia a child patient can give a valid consent in law to his or her medical treatment. The issue of whether a patient who is still a child has the right to give consent to medical treatment needs to be researched and discussed in order to give clarity and certainty to the law so that it can in turn be used as the basis for medical and legal practice.
