Patient Rights & Responsibillities

In November 2002, the European Charter of Patients’ Rights was issued in Rome by the Active Citizenship Network. The Charter was formally adopted in September 2007, in Brussels, by the European Economic and Social Committee and is now part of European Union law.

Chapter V of the Charter outlines civil rights and Article 35 refers to the protection of health in regards to the right of access to prevention procedures and to the benefits of medical treatment, under the conditions that have been established by national legislation and practice. Furthermore, there are also references in other articles regarding issues relating directly or indirectly to patients’ rights.

In our country a clear expression of patients’ rights can be found in Article 47 of Law: 2071/1992, which refers to the rights of hospital patients. In Law 3418/2005, which covers the Medical Ethics Code, there are articles which are related to the rights of patients.

Mediterraneo Hospital develops and implements procedures to ensure compliance with the aforementioned laws.

  6. The patient or their representative -in the case of implementation of paragraph 3- has the right to be fully informed and in advance, about the risks that may arise or occur in connection with the application of unusual or experimental diagnostic and therapeutic practices.
