about Patients' Rights
In the transition societies, the issue of patients' rights has been
widely discussed among the medical professionals, policy makers and
general public for long time but still without consistent
argumentation. The European Charter of Patients' Rights regulating the
basic patients' rights currently at risk, is setting high standards for
the treatment of European patients.
about this Project
The objectives of the project are to analyze patients’ rights
policies and the level and quality of their implementation; develop
policy recommendations promoting patients’ rights for the Roma
population as an enabler of development for the ministries of health,
medical associations, parliaments, civil society and academic
communities; and write a research paper and 20-page policy study in
coordination with the group advisor for the Ministry of Health,
Doctors’ Chamber, Roma non-governmental organizations and other
stakeholders in the region.
support for the Project
This project is supported by International Policy Fellowship (IPF), a
joint program of OSI and Center for Policy Studies at the
