Abstract

The growing popularity of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (CAM) emphasises the need for a deeper understanding of patient rights in this context. This research focuses on legal perspectives on patient rights in CAM, with particular emphasis on information rights, patient consent, safety, privacy issues, and the patient's right to choose or refuse CAM treatment. Qualitative research methods were conducted through literature review, analysis of legal documents, regulations, and CAM policies in various jurisdictions. The results illustrate the complexity of the law in dealing with patient rights issues in CAM practice, raising the need for clearer regulation and stronger protection.
