Under the Patient Rights Regulation and related legislation, you have in particular the right to:

• Receive services fairly and equitably
• Request information on your health, planned procedures, their risks and alternatives
• Choose and change institution and doctor (as permitted by law)
• Give or refuse consent to medical procedures
• Have your privacy respected and personal data kept confidential
• Access your medical records and obtain a copy

For good care it is important to give accurate and complete information about your medical history, medicines and symptoms, follow the recommended treatment and check-ups, and attend appointments on time.

You can apply to the patient rights or patient relations unit of the institution where you receive care, or call the Ministry of Health Communication Centre (SABİM, 184).
