Declaration of Patient’s Rights

In order for patients to benefit maximally from the process and to recognize the importance of collaborating with healthcare professionals, the Medical Council, Nursing Council, Pharmaceutical Council, Dental Council, Physical Therapy Council, Medical Technology Council, and the Committee on Art of Healing have jointly issued a declaration to certify patients’ rights and codes of practice.

This declaration was made on the 12th of August, 2558 B.E., and is as follows:

Every patient has the basic right to receive nursing care and healthcare in accordance with professional standards from healthcare professionals, without discrimination as prescribed in the constitution.
Patients seeking medical care have the right to be provided with truthful and sufficient information about their illness, examinations, treatments, as well as the benefits and risks associated with these procedures by healthcare professionals in a language easily understood by the patient. This allows the patient to make decisions about consenting to or refusing treatment by healthcare professionals, except in urgent and life-threatening emergencies.
Patients in life-threatening situations have the right to immediate assistance from healthcare professionals as necessary, without considering whether the patient has requested aid or not.
Patients have the right to be informed of the name, surname, and profession of the healthcare provider attending to them.
Patients have the right to request opinions from other healthcare professionals who are not directly involved in their care, and they have the right to request a change of healthcare professional or healthcare facility. These rights are in accordance with the existing patient care criteria.
Patients have the right to confidentiality of their own information unless the patient provides consent or it is part of the healthcare professional’s responsibilities for the direct benefit of the patient or by law.
Patients have the right to complete information when deciding to participate or withdraw from being a participant or subject in healthcare professionals’ research experiments.
Patients have the right to access specific healthcare information concerning themselves as recorded in medical records when requested according to the procedures of that healthcare facility. This information should not infringe upon the rights or personal information of others.
Parents, guardians, or duly authorized representatives may exercise the rights on behalf of patients who are minors under the age of eighteen, individuals with physical or mental disabilities who are unable to exercise their rights independently.
