Abstract
Privacy is a basic human right; however; a patient`s right to privacy is often violated because health care providers do not fulfill their ethical and professional responsibilities. There is an immediate need to preserve patients` privacy by health care professionals; a standardized policy on patients` privacy is important. This paper aims to analyze the significance of patents` privacy in health care. A case scenario of a pregnant woman from an antenatal setting has been integrated to support the concept of privacy in promoting and advocating patients` right.
