About the Seminar
Human Rights are fundamental rights to which a person is inherently entitled to, simply because she or he is a human being. It is universal in application. India has incorporated human right protection into the legal framework.
Medical Law is used to protect human rights by regulating Professional Conduct. Doctor-Patient relationship, a fiduciary relationship has now changed to the patient as a consumer and doctor as a provider of service. Paternalism (Doctor Knows Best) has changed to Patient’s Rights Approach in which Provider’s rights are not taken into account.
Health Law deals with the interaction between State and citizens regarding their health. The state has a duty to ensure that reasonable restrictions in the exercise of patient’s rights shall be interpreted strictly and is not exercised in a discriminatory and arbitrary manner.
The concept of ‘HUMAN RIGHTS IN PATIENT CARE’ refers to the application of human rights principles to the context of patient care. Patient care refers to the prevention, treatment and management of illness and the preservation of physical and mental well – being through services offered by a health professional.
Human Rights in patient care addresses individual and community health and makes accountable all the stakeholders involved in the health delivery. Human Rights in patient care is a gap – building approach to medical law and health law.
The purpose of this seminar is to persuade the government to frame laws, policies and guidelines to protect the human rights of patients and providers, monitoring of abuses within health care services and to legally address them.
