Patient Protection

Patient protection refers to measures, laws, and practices designed to safeguard patients' rights, health, and well-being within the healthcare system. This includes ensuring informed consent before treatments, maintaining confidentiality of medical records, and providing access to safe, quality care. Patient protection also involves advocacy for fair treatment, addressing discrimination, and promoting transparency in healthcare practices. These protections aim to empower patients, ensuring they are treated with respect and that their health needs are prioritized, while also holding healthcare providers accountable for their actions and decisions.
