What law encourages healthcare professionals to provide medical care in an emergency situation without fear of being sued for negligence?

Answer: Good Samaritan law

Explanation:

Good Samaritan law is known to be a law which deals with the protection of health care practitioners that offer medical aid to those in serious and unexpected accident, illness, injury and so on. The health care practitioners have to render the first aid assistance within their area of specialization. Thus, if the assistance leads to the victim's death or injury, they will not be held responsible and are not subject to any form of punishment.
