The patients’ rightsOnly a sufficiently informed patient, who received all necessary information regarding his/her health and rights, can be a partner to the doctors. We answer all legal inquiries understandably and due to the lectures we provide at universities, we also increase the legal awareness of the doctors. We advocate the freedom of choice in the health sector – we demand the medical personnel to respect the individual decisions especially in the area of vaccination or obstetrics.
How we do that
We attempt to reach an effective and complete implementation of the UN Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. We are very critical especially towards the current system of the deprivation or limitation of legal capacity, institutionalization of individuals suffering from mental disabilities in social care institutions and psychiatric facilities, segregation of education, violation of the right to personal freedom and towards humiliating treatment in the facilities, where the individuals are deprived of personal freedom.
Our aim is to allow everyone without making any differences to lead dignified and quality life.
We cooperate with The Centre of advocacy of mentally disabled individuals.
