Patient rights form an important part of the medical field. Patients, ultimately deserve to have their own set of advocacies and rights that protect them, and their interests. Let us have a look at a few of them!
- Informed Consent: Patients have the right to receive clear information about their diagnosis, treatment options, and potential risks, allowing informed decisions.
- Confidentiality: Medical information must be kept private, ensuring trust between patients and healthcare providers.
- Access to Care: Patients should have access to necessary medical services without discrimination.
- Respect and Dignity: Patients deserve to be treated with respect, regardless of their background or circumstances.
- Advocacy: Patients can advocate for themselves by asking questions, seeking second opinions, and involving family members in care discussions.
- Resources: Many hospitals offer patient advocates to assist with concerns and navigate the healthcare system effectively.
We, at Asha Hospital, pride ourselves in upholding these and many more! We await to serve you soon!
