Advocate for patient rights

Advocating for patient rights means supporting and protecting the interests of patients within the healthcare system. This involves ensuring that patients are informed about their treatment options, can make decisions about their care, and receive fair treatment without discrimination. Advocates work to uphold patients' rights to privacy, consent, and respectful care, and they can assist in addressing concerns or complaints. Their role is essential in empowering patients to speak up about their needs and ensuring that their voices are heard in health-related matters.
