Human Rights in Patient Care: A Theoretical and Practical Framework

  • Author: Jonathan Cohen and Tamar Ezer

Summary

The concept of "human rights in patient care" (HRPC) refers to the application of human rights principles in the context of patient care. It provides a principled alternative to the growing discourse of "patients rights" that has evolved in response to widespread and severe human rights violations in health care settings. It neutrally applies universal, legally-recognized human rights principles, protecting both patients and providers and admitting of limitations that can be justified by human rights norms. It looks at systemic issues and state responsibility.
