Description
Anas Odeh and co-authors survey hospital patients in 2024 in northern Palestine about their rights. Patients have rights to respectful care, clear information, and a say in treatment. How well patients know these rights, and how well staff honor them, varies widely by place.
Four hundred patients took part through in-person interviews. Just under half showed good awareness of their rights. Awareness ran highest for respectful care and lowest for the simple act of staff introducing themselves. Private and charity hospitals explained procedures, options, and costs better than public ones. The authors call for joint reforms, since over half of patients lacked basic knowledge of their rights.
