Patient Rights
Clinical Ethics and Patient Dignity
In a residential recovery environment, psychological safety is the foundation of effective clinical care. At Belaku Rehabilitation Centre in Bangalore, we adhere strictly to the ethical standards set by the Mental Healthcare Act (MHCA), 2017. Our protocols ensure that your fundamental rights, personal dignity, and cultural beliefs are fiercely protected throughout your recovery journey. As a resident in our care, you hold the following non-negotiable rights:
- Absolute Confidentiality: Your medical history, psychiatric evaluations, and personal identity are protected by stringent privacy laws. No information is released without your explicit, documented consent.
- Informed Clinical Consent: You have the right to a transparent explanation of your diagnosis, the biological timeline of your medical detoxification, and the rationale behind every prescribed therapy or medication.
- Dignity and Non-Discrimination: You will receive compassionate, evidence-based care entirely free from stigma, judgment, or discrimination regarding your background, beliefs, or the nature of your addiction.
- Psychological and Physical Safety: You are guaranteed a secure, heavily monitored facility environment free from abuse, neglect, or exploitation, overseen by our round-the-clock medical staff.
- Access to Medical Records: You reserve the right to review your clinical progress reports and have them thoroughly explained by our lead psychiatrist or clinical psychologist.
