Summary/Abstract: The common health and social policy in the EU, despite the differences of the national health systems, is placing the same rights of patients, consumers, users, family members, weak populations and ordinary people at risk. In most of the countries of Southeastern Europe prior to the transition there was no single legislation regulating the rights of patients. In the Republic of Macedonia, the patients’ rights are still regulated only partially and scattered in few legal documents. Through the two alternatives, the author proposes improved implementation of the existing legislation, as well as introduction of new mechanisms for exercising, but also monitoring of the conditions with the rights of this large stakeholders group in the health system.
