Abstract/Summary

Every patient has a right to be treated equally and fairly. When things go wrong, one must be able to invoke these rights and be able to attain justice in the end. In this paper, the current situation in the Philippines, without a specific law made to address medical matters, will be presented. It will be followed by the introduction of the House Bill No. 261, also known as the Magna Carta of Patients' Rights and Obligations by Rep. Rodriguez Dadivas that seeks to connect the missing links towards a high quality of treating patients and the assurance that each of the latter is not being deprived of their rights by medical practitioners. A careful analysis of the subsequent effects upon the application of this bill in the country shall likewise be discussed.
