The recognition of patient rights depends heavily on medical ethical practices despite existing difficulties. Patients maintain their right to informed consent together with privacy and their freedom to make healthcare decisions. The understanding between healthcare providers and patients about care experiences differs from their actual perceptions. Research indicates that patients consider autonomy important but healthcare workers sometimes fail to put it at the forefront of care. Medical facilities must build their programs around ethical education alongside patient-centered services as a solution to this problem. Medical professionals should implement shared decision-making combined with transparency which enhances their ability to protect patient rights. Such an approach both improves patient satisfaction and establishes ethical medical practice standards which deliver effective respectful healthcare.
