Patient Rights Information

Dear Patient!

Applicable regulations impose on us the obligation to inform you about your rights. To fulfill this obligation at "Aleksandra Nowak PHYSIOCARE", we have prepared this general information on patient rights and an extract from the regulations governing patient rights. In the extract, you will find more detailed information about patient rights and the limitations of these rights specified in the regulations. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with both documents.

Remember that observing patient rights is the duty of public authorities competent in the field of health protection, the National Health Fund, entities providing health services, persons practicing a medical profession, and other persons participating in the provision of health services.

The head of the entity providing health services or a doctor authorized by them may limit the exercise of patient rights in the event of an epidemic threat or due to the health safety of patients. In the case of limiting your rights in our office, you will find information in this regard in our office in an easily accessible place.
