Brochure: Patient Bill of Rights

Approved and adopted by the Ministry of Health, the Patient Bill of Rights and Responsibilities reaffirms the fundamental human rights owed to every patient, safeguarding human dignity, integrity, and autonomy in the provision of health care. This brochure helps communities understand their rights, including the right to respect, information, freedom from discrimination, informed consent, and confidentiality and privacy — as well as the right to provide feedback, lodge a complaint, and receive a timely response.

A note on our name

This resource dates from our time as Namati Moçambique. In 2026 we became Matimba, an independent Mozambican organisation. The work described here is ours; only the name has changed.
