The Slovak Constitution, the health care reform package of six Acts from 2004 and subsequent legislation create a comprehensive legal framework of patient rights in Slovakia. However, patient rights as such are laid down in the Act No. 576/2004 Coll. on health care and health care-related services and on the amendment and supplementing of certain laws as amended. |
