Patient-Centered Care

During your hospitalization, your attending physician will keep you informed about your health status, test results, and the recommended treatment plan.

Before any medical procedure, test, or surgery, you will be asked to provide your written consent after being fully informed about the purpose, benefits, potential risks, and alternative options.

You have the right to refuse or discontinue your treatment after being fully informed by your attending physician about the consequences of your decision and the available alternatives. In the event of a refusal to give consent, and after receiving the relevant information, the proposed medical procedure will not be performed, except in cases where there is an immediate threat to the patient’s life and health.

You have the right to refuse cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the administration of which is determined by physicians within the applicable legal framework. Before making the above statement, you have the right to ask your attenting physician for information regarding the consequences of your statement and the scientifically accepted alternative care and treatment options available.

For minor patients, informed consent is provided by the parents exercising parental authority over the minor, or by the parent to whom such authority has been exclusively granted, or by the legal guardian, in accordance with the applicable legal framework. However, in cases where both parents are unable to give consent, the parent who gives consent assumes, in writing, sole responsibility for informing the other parent and obtaining that parent’s consent.

Before any examination, treatment, or medical procedure requiring consent, the care team will inform you of the purpose, expected benefits, potential risks, and available alternatives.

We encourage you to ask questions and seek clarification so that you can make decisions with a full understanding of the available options.

To the extent appropriate for their age and level of development, children are also encouraged to participate in discussions and decision-making regarding their care.

You have the right to accept or refuse a proposed procedure or treatment after being fully informed about the possible consequences and alternative care options.

Before delivery, your attending obstetrician and care team will inform you about the available care options, pain relief methods, the expected benefits, potential risks, and alternatives so that you can actively participate in the decision-making process.

You have the right to ask questions, request additional clarification or a repeat of the information provided, and to discuss your personal preferences and wishes regarding your care. Where permitted by hospital policies and your clinical plan, the presence of a person of your choice may be supported during specific stages of your care.
