Abstract

The main aim of this article is to analyse key issues concerning patient rights in their capacity as consumers. The healthcare services market has been subject to dynamic development in recent years. For that reason, it is very important to be open to new forms of risk. The present situation in the healthcare services market is important, because a consumer able to clearly identify the character of the these services, will be able to protect his rights. Summing up, there is no doubt that the relation between consumer and patient are quite complicated, but on the other side, very important from the legal point of view.
