Since health law can be further divided according to which branches and which target groups it applies, it is also possible to tackle particular legal topics within health law on the basis of this distinction:

• Health care law (regulations applying to physicians, to physicians’ liability, to physicians’ practice, including setting up or buying a physician’s practice)
• Law of the health care system (legislation applicable to physicians registered with social health insurance bodies, legislation applicable to social health insurance bodies, “social law”, social insurance law)
• Pharmacies and pharmacists’ law
• Legislation applicable to the operation of hospitals
• Commercial and company law
