Pediatric Ethics and Patient Rights
Pediatric Ethics research aims to address ethical challenges in pediatric healthcare, focusing on informed consent procedures, interdisciplinary ethics committees, and ethical considerations in pediatric research to ensure patient-centered and ethically sound care for children. Current research emphasizes legal protections and patient advocacy initiatives to uphold the rights of pediatric patients, including the right to appropriate medical treatment, privacy, and access to comprehensive healthcare services. Efforts also concentrate on patient and family education, promoting awareness of patient rights and fostering active engagement in healthcare decision-making to facilitate a patient-centered approach in pediatric care.
