“I solemnly pledge myself to consecrate my life to service of humanity.” This is the first sentence a doctor utters while taking an oath when s/he enters into the medical profession. They are considered as God by people despite knowing the fact that they are human, as the profession gives ‘hope’ to live to a patient and his family. But due to the increasing number of medico legal issues in the country, there is a serious concern about the doctor-patient relationship. To raise awareness among the patients about their rights and responsibilities as patients and to build up a strong, safe and healthy doctor patient relationship, the Dr. Anamika Ray Memorial Trust observes June 25 as Patients’ Rights Day under the “STOP MEDICAL TERRORISM” movement for better and transparent healthcare services in India.
The Trust, in consultation with a panel of medical professionals of national and international repute, drafted the Patients’ Rights in 10 points and the responsibilities in another 10 points. The Rights and Responsibilities of the patients available at http://smt.armt.in in many Indian languages. It's a two page document. The Trust requests everyone to support the cause by downloading the document in their preferred language, printing it out and distributing it among patients in any hospital in India. The Trust believes that this initiative may save hundreds of lives and will be a great contribution for better and more transparent healthcare services in India.
The rights mentioned in the draft include the right to get the best possible medical care without discrimination; right to prompt, life-saving treatment; right to take part in all decisions relating to one’s health care; right to privacy; right to know the identity and role of people involved in treatment; right to dignity and to have caregivers’ respect; right to appropriate assessment and management of pain; right to receive visitors; right to refuse treatment and to leave the medical centre; and right to get necessary information related to the line of treatment as well as all health records.
The responsibilities mentioned in the draft include the responsibility to refrain from misbehaving and misconduct towards any medical service providers; responsibility to refrain from physical assault of any healthcare personnel or damage to property; responsibility to be truthful; responsibility to provide complete and accurate medical history; responsibility to cooperate with the agreed line of treatment; responsibility to meet the financial obligations; responsibility to refrain from initiating, participating or supporting fraudulent and illegal health care practices; responsibility to report illegal or unethical behaviour; responsibility to get a post-mortem done and responsibility to discuss end of life decisions.

For many decades the vast majority of the South African population has experienced either a denial or violation of fundamental human rights, including rights to health care services. To ensure the realisation of the right of access to health care services as guaranteed in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (Act No 108 of 1996), the Department of Health is committed to upholding,
promoting and protecting this right and therefore proclaims this PATIENTS' RIGHTS CHARTER as a common standard for achieving the realisation of this right.
This Charter is subject to the provisions of any law operating within the Republic of South Africa and to the financial means of the country.

Saturday 21st

2. What is the Patient Advice
and Support Service (PASS)?
• A holistic service which provides free, independent and
confidential advice and support to anyone giving feedback
to the NHS.
• Advises how to use the NHS complaints process.
• Is based in Citizens Advice Bureaux, which means Patient
Advisers can refer clients to their colleagues for specialist
information and advice on any other issues which are
affecting their health.
• Clients can also be easily referred to Patient Advisers by
Generalist Advisers.
3. • There are Patient Advisers in Citizens Advice Bureau in every
Health Board in Scotland who can:
– Support you to explore options when you want to give feedback,
make comments, raise concerns or make a complaint about
treatment
– Help you write letters and make phone calls
– Support you if you are going to a meeting with NHS staff
– Help you access your medical and clinical records
• PASS has a role in promoting the Patient Charter and helping
clients understand both their rights and responsibilities.
4. Your health, your rights
The Charter of Patient Rights and Responsibilities (the
‘Charter’) summarises your rights and responsibilities
as well as what you can expect when you use NHS
services and receive NHS care in Scotland.
5. Access
• What are your rights when accessing NHS services
in Scotland and what can you expect from the NHS?
• Access - You have the right to have your needs
taken into account when receiving NHS services.
There is a treatment time guarantee for people who
need treatment in hospital.
6. Communication and participation
• What are your rights around involvement in decisions
about health care and NHS services?
• Communication and participation - You have the right to
get information about your health care and the services
available to you, and for health care staff to explain things
clearly to you. You have the right to be involved in
decisions about your health care and the services you use.
You have the right to accept or refuse any treatment,
examination, test or screening procedure that is offered to
you.
7. Communication and participation
What does the NHS expect from me?
• That you
– take some personal responsibility for your own health
– let staff know about any changes in your health condition
– tell your GP practice, dental surgery, optician and any hospital or
clinic you go to if you change your address, phone number or email.
8. Case study
• The client had been unwell with a variety of symptoms and had
been given antidepressants. The client
– spoke with the Patient Adviser and understood that it was ok to ask
questions and if she wasn’t happy it was her right to challenge and have
input in her care.
– prepared some questions to ask at her next GP appointment.
– was diagnosed with 3 different conditions and though still unwell at
times, feels more confident and is building a good relationship with her
GP.
– was referred to a generalist adviser in the bureau and now receives
Disability Living Allowance and Employment & Support Allowance
9. Confidentiality
• How should you expect your personal information to
be used, shared and kept secure by the NHS in
Scotland?
• Confidentiality - You have the right for all your personal
health information to be kept confidential, and to know
how it is used. You have a right to access your own
health records.
10. Case study
• The client had many questions regarding their partner’s
time in hospital and discharge.
• The client felt that he had been kept at arm’s length by staff
throughout his partner’s admission and that they had been
very uncommunicative.
• The NHS arranged a meeting with the client. The client felt
that his questions were fully answered to his satisfaction
and with great sensitivity.
11. Respect
• How should you be treated by NHS staff when using the
health service in Scotland?
• Respect - You have the right to be treated as an individual
and with dignity and respect, no matter what your age,
disability, gender reassignment, pregnancy or maternity,
marriage or civil partnership, race, religion or belief, sex, or
sexual orientation.
• What does the NHS expect from me?
• That you treat staff, other patients, their carers and family
members with consideration, dignity and respect.
12. Case study – patient responsibilities

angry with the NHS
• Patient Adviser found that client hadn’t attended
physiotherapy, or worn her hip brace
• Client hadn’t followed recommended treatment and
understood her rights and responsibilities
• Client didn’t make a complaint to the NHS
13. Safety
• How does the NHS makes sure you get the best
possible care and treatment by trained professionals in
a safe environment?
• Safety - You have the right to the best care and treatment
possible by properly qualified staff in an appropriate safe
and clean setting.
14. What does the NHS expect from
me?
• Tell staff if you are allergic to any medicines or if you
have experienced any side effects after taking a
particular medicine.
• Finish any course of agreed treatment. If you want to
change or stop your treatment, you should discuss this
with your doctor, dentist or pharmacist first.
• If you think a member of staff has forgotten to wash their
hands before examining you, ask them to do this.

care and how are your concerns and complaints
dealt with?
