What if Parents Refuse Consent?

Refusal of consent can arise due to various reasons, such as cultural beliefs, religious reasons, or misunderstanding of the medical information provided. In such cases:
- Further Discussion: Healthcare providers should engage in further dialogue to address concerns and provide additional information.
- Ethics Committee: In some instances, involving an ethics committee to help mediate and resolve the situation may be necessary.
- Legal Action: As a last resort, healthcare providers may need to seek legal intervention, especially if the refusal of treatment could result in significant harm to the infant.
