According to the study of foreign experience, an effective mechanism for obtaining informed consent is the involvement of the institution of the mediator of the medical system in the process, which makes it easier for a person to understand the information provided to him, and at the same time saves the time of the person providing medical care, which can be spent on the process of providing medical care.
