Good Samaritan law

Panama's Penal Code (Single Text, Law 14 of 2007 and reforms) creates no general duty to rescue a stranger; criminal liability by omission arises only in a guarantor relationship.

Healthcare professional recognition

In Panama, recertification for health professionals is voluntary and periodic under the Ley de Recertificación, with no mandatory nationwide hours standard; instead each professional college sets its continuing-education credit hours per discipline, coordinated through the Technical Health Council (Consejo Técnico de Salud, MINSA). CPR and basic life support, including ACLS and PALS, count as eligible continuing-education activities.

Homes, shelters (albergues) and long-stay establishments for older adults, overseen by MIDES, require caregivers to hold adult first-aid and CPR certification within programs that include Basic Life Support (BLS).
