Abstract
The purpose of this article is to share the experience of promoting patients' rights in the Slovak Republic. According to the Constitution of the Slovak Republic, the state provides its citizens with the right to quality health care, health protection, safety, privacy, health information, etc., but these rights were not implemented sufficiently in daily life. A successful Dutch model of the promotions of patients' rights was used for 18 months from January 2002 - June 2003. Educational and training activities with special emphasis on public awareness were among the priorities of the project. The initial survey to estimate public awareness and an identical survey conducted at the end of the project were compared. The ultimate goal of the project was to enhance the capacity of professionals and citizens to enforce the patients' rights.
