The Right to health is a universally recognized right. The World Health Organization defines this right for the first time as a “right of every person to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health”. The right to health is closely related to the protection of the rights of patients, which represent a set of rights, responsibilities and duties according to which the patients request and receive health care. In Republic of Macedonia, these rights are provided for in the Law on Protection of Patients’ Rights.
