The idea of holding the First Gulf Conference on Patient Rights emerged from the tolerant Islamic Sharia calling to give each his due, ensuring therefore that every person obtains their rights, without devaluation of any party.
In fact, the disease represents - regardless of its severity - a scourge for the patients’ parents, friends and visitors and for the medical personnel as well; hence the need for implementing the legal legislations concerning the patient and his family members, taking into account their health, psychological status and social condition.
The Scientific Organizing Committee sought to design a rich scientific conference program, with the aim of shedding light on health care and contributing to raising the level of awareness among the public about the patient’s rights and the health care provided thereto.
