"Letter of the Rights and Duties o a Patient"
The rights of the patient have the purpose of making explicit the basic principles over which the medical practice is based on, in a certain way a response of the unconditional exercise of the professional freedom of those rendering medical attention services, that constitute privileges considered in legal bylaw of its general application.
Therefore, these rights are not meant to be confronted with patients, because both of them bind together with a group of proper universal values of a professional actitivity that is profoundly humanistic, as it is the medicine. This collective effort, for the integration of the Letter regarding the rights of the patients, as well as for that, which now makes explicit, those regarding the physician in the exercise of his professional activity, are inscribed in the frame of the assumed commitments during the National Crusade for the Quality of Health Services, which, with certainty, will result in a better relation between a doctor and his patients.
