When you visit a hospital or clinic, you trust medical professionals to act in your best interest. But every patient also has an important legal and ethical protection known as informed consent.
Informed consent means that a healthcare provider must explain a medical procedure in clear and understandable terms before performing it.
This explanation should include the purpose of the treatment, the expected benefits, potential risks, and any available alternatives.
Without this information, patients cannot make informed decisions about their own healthcare.
Unfortunately, many patients experience procedures performed without proper explanation or consent. This can lead to serious physical, emotional, and financial consequences.
At AMMV, we advocate for patient rights in Ghana and support individuals who may have experienced medical negligence or malpractice due to lack of informed consent.
If you believe a medical procedure was performed without proper explanation or permission, you may have the right to seek legal action.
