Waiver

Explanation:
The patient waives his legal rights, allowing the doctors to use him as a guinea-pig. It is also used if one is in a hospital for observation or treatment, and decides to leave before they consider that the treatment is finished. It's a safe way for hospitals and doctors not to fulfil their duties. With all the law-suits in the USA, it's becoming very common.

liability

Explanation:
It seems to me that the portuguese words
suggests " acceptance of responsability ". therefore, the closest
to the contex would be liability , or liability term, or terms of liability.

Good luck

waiver of liability

Explanation:
or "liability waiver." Some of the other responses to this query bring up an interesting point in English usage. A patient who is participating in a clinical trial or other medical study usually signs a document known as an "informed consent," part of which consists of the waiver of liability. This waiver by the patient relieves the researchers or investigators of any responsibility if things go wrong during the study. However (and this is where it gets tricky), despite the use of "waiver" as a noun, proper English usage prohibits "waive" as a verb unless the party speaking is waiving a right on his own behalf. In other words, I can waive my own right to take some kind of legal action, but if I'm excusing someone else from having to take responsibility for his actions, I have to say that I RELIEVE that person of liability (caps added for emphasis only). -- Hope this helps a little, HC
