Medical work in Algerian legislation: disease prevention, diagnosis, career exploration, biological analysis, treatment and rehabilitation, surveillance, protection and health education

Algerian lawmakers, like many lawmakers, have not been exposed to a specific and independent definition of medical work, although their concepts are rooted in legal texts relevant to the health and social sphere. The Health Protection and Promotion Act states that full health treatment includes the following:
• Prevention of disease at all levels,
• Diagnosis and treatment of disease,
• Re-conditioning patients,
• Health education.
The provisions of the same law also provide for the main lines of health users' duties from doctors, pharmacists, dental surgeons and medical assistants, as follows:
• To protect the health of the population by providing them with appropriate medical treatment,
• Participation in health education,
• Create health users,
• Permanent monitoring of patients' condition and physical cleanliness,
• Participate in the work of population protection and health education,
• Participation in scientific research.
In the context of affirmation of the aforementioned medical acts, Article 214 of the Health Protection Act specifies the practices that the perpetrator committed for the crime of the illegal practice of the medical professions, namely, performing diagnostic work, treating diseases or surgical injuries individually or by providing oral counseling or Written.
The Code of Medical Ethics has shown that the doctor's message is to defend health and alleviate suffering, which can only be accomplished through medical work. It also showed that the scope of the doctor's specialization or qualification is in all the work of diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
In order to accurately define the tasks assigned to medical personnel, as part of their employment as public officials, their basic laws were designed to separate their professional duties and duties, which, by their performance, deserved their salary and, by failing to do so, presented themselves with legal accountability.
These functions are as follows: disease prevention, diagnosis, career exploration, biological analysis, treatment and rehabilitation, surveillance, protection and health education, training and scientific research.
In terms of social protection, the law provides for a range of medical work covered by in-kind health insurance coverage, covering social security funds: medical work for diagnosis and treatment, including biological examinations, job retraining and professional rehabilitation.
After reviewing the previous legal texts and concepts, the contents of the medical work can be drawn up in the Algerian legislation, especially the texts of health and social protection. This content we find includes the following elements:
• Protection and promotion of health through prevention, monitoring, follow-up and dissemination of health education.
• Detection of diseases by diagnosis, analysis and functional reports.
• Providing various treatments with medicines, surgery and rehabilitation.
• Training and scientific research.
This extraction comes in the absence of an explicit provision defining the concept of medical work, although the Social Insurance Law has referred the definition of the General Code of Professional Work of doctors and dentists to regulate, for the purpose of characterization of these works on the one hand, and pricing on the other.
