Health in the 21st Century: new rights come to the fore?
Abstract
Biotechnological advancements have engendered great expectations in patients, changing the very conception of health, which has come to be construed as psycho-physical well-being rather than a mere absence of diseases. The doctor-patient relationship is affected by the dearth of funds allocated for health care. Doctors, however, should make the most out of the meager resources available, while tackling any form of discrimination in access to health care.
Keywords: Authonomy; Doctor-patient relationship; Public health.
