All over the world, the concept of right to health and medical ethics have recently emerged from ever-growing consciousness about the dignity of human life, Right to health and health care are the new aspirations of people. Health rights and medical ethics are related to one another. Health rights are exercised by people who use the health services, and medical ethics are reflected in the professional performance of doctors while delivering health services. It is imperative for the doctors to have a continuing medico-legal education and their duty is to comply with the applicable ethical regulations in their daily practice.
