Author(s): Mutasem Heif, Mutasem Heif

Nano technology or technology is based on the construction of new materials, devices and systems, by controlling the physical, chemical and biological properties of the substance while exploiting the new properties arising out of this substance. Given the importance of this technology, many researches have begun in the field of Nano medicine, its applications and its uses in the medical field. It should be noted that Jordanian, United Arab Emirates and Egyptian legislation did not explicitly address the use of nanotechnology in the medical field, but did address explicit legal texts that protect the human body from any abuse, including those in the field of medical error. Since there was no legal connection to the use of nanotechnology in the medical field; General rules establishing civil liability for the use of nanotechnology in diagnosis and treatment are applied on the basis of fault, damage and causation.
