Abstract

The universal declaration of Human rights was issued in 1948, and a new era began in the history of human rights, which is the time of human rights science, which later revealed to us many definitions and characteristics of human rights, which began with intersectionality, integration, proportionality, and development, and which produced in its new forms many epidemics of rights that continued through its different generations, such as the rights of the patient.
On the other hand, patient rights are based, in part, on advisory, awareness-raising, and informational aspects that may not be available in other rights that arose within the field of human rights. Therefore, the role of media occupies a large space in developing patient rights. The extent to which the characteristics and generations that witnessed human rights apply to patient rights is still under discussion. Will they be considered relative rights that vary within a legal system to another? Will this development in human rights reveal other rights or terms in the field of healthcare? This is what we propose in this research.
