Corporate BANGALORE: The Karnataka Lokayukta Justice Mr N Venkatachala today released patient rights document of the super-speciality Wockhardt Hospital. Speaking on the occasion, he said patient rights programmes are an integral part of the healthcare system in most countries and I am happy that Wockhardt Hospitals has taken this important initiative in India. This is a very positive step for consumer confidence in healthcare services and this document can be used as a model by all hospitals in the country, he added. Wockhardt Hospital's Vice-President Mr Vishal Bali said hospitals play a central role in the healthcare system, as centres that practice modern medicine and keep pace with rapid technological advancements taking place in the science of life. It is becoming increasingly important that the healthcare settings for patients simultaneously put more emphasis on the social and environmental determinants that support healing while promoting health. He said the document also highlighted the responsibilities of patients and their families. Our patient rights document is a symbol of a caring and compassionate institution which focuses on quality and process of care, he added. - UNI
