[Patient's rights in Polish legislation].
The knowledge of medical law and rights of citizen seeking professional treatment is particularly crucial in relationship to health service. Such knowledge enables patients to be better oriented in this complicated matter and may contribute to their satisfaction from medical services. It also enables to settle a rising argument by means of negotiations between partners knowing their rights and obligations. Patient's rights have been widely discussed in Poland recently. The movement involved in improving and complying with patients' rights has increased with social, cultural, ethical and political development. In Polish legislation there are many regulations concerning patients' rights.
