Abstract
Observance of right to accessible healthcare , physician of choice, complete information, treatment-refusal, filing complaint and inviolability of personal privacy motivates active participation of patients in treatment decision making in healthcare . Implementation of rights by healthcare workers under management’s supervision is intended to secure good medical practice and build & strengthen doctor patient relationship by avoiding medical malpractice if duo has sense of responsibility towards it. Contrarily, lack of respect to patients’ rights may lead to hazards in health-status and ruined doctor patient relationship consequently decreasing efficiency, effectiveness, trust and optimal care of patients. Present survey study on randomly selected 282 patients of a corporate multispecialty hospital revealed high level observance of patients’ rights and equally high sense of responsibility in healthcare decision making. High level of dissatisfaction was seen in long waiting-times, slightly rushed attitude of doctors and usage of medical terms. Electronic-media, print-media and counseling sessions in hospital were reported to be major sources of awareness in patients. Significantly high level of ignorance for laws safeguarding rights was noticed.
