9. Dec 2024 Coercive medical measures also possible outside the clinic in individual cases Federal Constitutional Court strengthens patients' rights in care law

On November 26, 2024, the Federal Constitutional Court (BVerfG) ruled by a narrow majority that the compulsory medical treatment of people who are under legal care due to an illness or disability can also be carried out outside of hospitals in individual cases in future. The groundbreaking ruling thus breaks with the previous hospital reservation and allows coercive medical measures to be carried out in assisted living facilities or at home. The decision thus marks a significant step towards taking greater account of the rights and needs of vulnerable people.
