Abstract

The article is devoted to the comparative legal study of legal norms on the protection of patients’ rights and their implementation in Ukraine and the European Union, as well as ways of unification and development trends in view of existing national achievements and international practices. The comparative method was used to analyze the legislation of Ukraine, international acts and case law of the European Court of Human Rights on the rights to protection of human dignity, equality, the patient’s priority, aspects of access to health care, quality of care, individual autonomy, information and informed consent. It has been established that the Ukrainian legislator has defined these issues in normative legal acts, to some extent even more detailed and specific than those defined by international acts. However, the issue of real and appropriate implementation of these norms in life and compliance with these norms by health care providers in particular remains open.
