CONSIDERATIONS ON THE NEED TO AFFIRM THE ROLE OF THE PATIENT WITHIN THE ROMANIAN HEALTH SYSTEM BY MODERNIZING THE NATIONAL LEGISLATION
Abstract
In the contemporary era, the right to health is a human right and is based on the natural rights of humans. Hence the obligation of the states to develop appropriate legislation and to implement this obligation. In other words, the social responsibility in health. Currently, in Europe there is a close collaboration between the World Health Organization, the European Union and the Council of Europe with the declared aim to support the implementation of coordinated strategies for the implementation of patient rights, the concerns in this field intensifying, mainly, with the development of Amsterdam Declaration on the Promotion of Patients' Rights in Europe, adopted in 1994. In this context, this article examines the national legal framework governing the rights, duties, responsibilities and penalties applied in the field of patient rights. This article aims to analyse how patients' rights in the European Union area are implemented and enforced in the national legislation and the role that patients play in the Romanian health system. To create a modern healthcare system, there is need for it to be cantered on patients' needs, to have dynamic and integrated structures, adaptable to the different and ever changing health needs of the society in general and of individuals in particular and which, not least, has to recognize the role of the patient as an active partner in health policies.
