The importance of informed consent

The informed consent is one of the rights you have as a patient, whereby you receive complete and understandable information from the surgeon/doctor about the procedure to be performed and acquire full knowledge of the possible risks and benefits thereof. This process is fundamental to medical ethics, as it ensures that people make informed decisions about their medical care.

The healthcare professional should provide you with detailed information about the medical procedure, treatment, or test. This includes the objectives, risks and benefits, available alternatives, and any other relevant information so that you can make an informed decision.

At the Medical Center , informed consent is recorded in writing on a specific form. Both parties, the patient (or their legal representative) and the healthcare professional, sign the form to indicate that consent has been given. If you have any questions, please contact us.
