ESIC Hospital Sarojini Nagar,Lucknow, welcomes all patients. The Patient’s family rights  responsibilities are displayed in prominent places for the patients benefit in English and  Hindi languages.

The patients are counselled at the time of admission by the reception staff about their rights and responsibilities while receiving care at ESIC Hospital, Sarojini Nagar,Lucknow.

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare circulated the country’s first Charter of Patients’ Rights in a letter to all state governments in June 2019. It was implemented as a remedy against the increasing complaints of inadequate medical care and medical malpractices. Because of the various complaints of medical malpractice, inadequate services or denials, and shortage of transparency, the government has been receiving them continuously. Originally, there were 13 rights on the Charter, which increased to 20 on August 23, 2021, with the approval of the National Council for Clinical Establishments, Government of India.

Here are all of them-

1. The right to have privacy dignity and religious  cultural belief respected. 
2. The patient  family right to have protection from against physical abuse or neglect. 
3. The right to have information related to your medical condition kept confidential.

 her informed consent.
