Article 20

第二十条

No medical practitioner may provide medical treatment or issue a medical certificate or prescription without personally performing a medical examination, nor issue a birth certificate or certificate of stillbirth without personally being in attendance at the birth, nor issue a certificate of post mortem examination without personally performing the fact examination; provided, however, that this does not apply to a death certificate that has been issued where a patient undergoing medical care has died within 24 hours of the medical examination.

医師は、自ら診察しないで治療をし、若しくは診断書若しくは処方せんを交付し、自ら出産に立ち会わないで出生証明書若しくは死産証書を交付し、又は自ら検案をしないで検案書を交付してはならない。但し、診療中の患者が受診後二十四時間以内に死亡した場合に交付する死亡診断書については、この限りでない。
