Sa gitna ng kontrobersya hinggil sa Dengvaxia vaccine, pinamamadali ni Bagong Henerasyon Congresswoman Bernadette Herrera-Dy ang pagsasabatas ng Magna Carta of Patient Rights and Obligations o House Bill 1038.
“Pinatingkad ng Dengvaxia issue ang kahalagahan ng mga karapatan ng mga pasyente. Kaugnay nito, hinihiling ko sa Malacanang na i-certify as urgent ang nagiisang Magna Carta of Patient Rights and Obligations,†diin ni Herrera-Dy na kasapi din ng House Committee on Health.
Nakalatag sa HB 1038 ang mga karapatang ng pasyente, tulad ng:
1) Right to Informed Consent;
2) Right to Choose a Physician/ Health Institution;
3) Right to be Informed of His Rights and Obligations as a Patient;
4) Right to Dignity;
5) Right to Privacy and Confidentiality;
6) Right to Refuse Participation in Medical Research;
7) Right to Medical Records; at
Right to Correspondence and to Receive Visitors.
Sa HB 1038, mayroon ding katapat na mga obligasyon ang mga pasyente tulad ng:
1) Report Unexpected Health Changes;
2) Understand the Purpose and Cost of Treatment;
3) Accept the Consequences of Own Informed Consent;
4) Settle Financial Obligations;
5) Respect a Physician’s Refusal to Treat Him; at
6) Report Infractions and Exhaust Grievance Mechanism.
“Bawat ospital, clinic, at paanakan ay meron dapat polyetos o karatula na nakasaad sa Filipino, Ingles, at rehiyunal wika ang mga karapatan at obligasyon ng pasyente,†sabi ni Herrera-Dy.
“Ipinapaliwanag dapat ng doktor o nars o iba pang health professional ang mga karapatang ito,†dagdag ni Herrera-Dy.
Kasalukuyang nakasalang sa House Committee on Health ang HB 1038. (WAKAS)
