5-Right to Free Choice
Each individual has the right to freely choose from among different treatment procedures and providers on the basis of adequate information.
The patient has the right to decide which diagnostic exams and therapies to undergo, and which primary care doctor, specialist or hospital to use. The health services have the duty to guarantee this right, providing patients with information on the various centres and doctors able to provide a certain treatment, and on the results of their activity. They must remove any kind of obstacle limiting exercise of this right.
A patient who does not have trust in his or her doctor has the right to designate another one.
