Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): Civil Rights

Civil rights in healthcare refer to the legal and moral protections afforded to individuals to ensure that they are treated fairly and with dignity in the healthcare system. These rights may include the right to equal access to healthcare, the right to privacy, and the right to be free from discrimination.

In the United States, civil rights in healthcare are protected by federal laws, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as by state and local laws. These laws prohibit discrimination based on factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, and disability.

Ensuring that individuals have access to their civil rights in healthcare is important for promoting equality and justice in the healthcare system and for ensuring that all individuals have the opportunity to receive the care and treatment they need. It is also essential for building trust and improving the quality of care and services provided to patients.
