EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Sindh Healthcare Commission

(SHCC) has developed this charter to

ensure the rights of Healthcare Ser-

vice Providers (HCSP). This charter

is essential to make sure that whatev-

er, and whenever care is provided it

is of high quality and is safe. The

HCSP Charter will be reviewed an-

nually or on a need basis, as deemed

appropriate by SHCC, in view of its

experiences, through a consultative

process involving patients, healthcare

service providers, healthcare estab-

lishments, related professionals, staff

and other stakeholder groups.

These rights and responsibilities

are intended to be used as a tool that

healthcare service providers refer to,

and for them to know what their

rights and responsibilities are while

functioning in the provision of

healthcare services in Sindh. It also

focuses on a Patient Centered ap-

proach and promotes participation by

patients and HCSPs as well as HCEs.

It also empowers healthcare estab-

lishments to feel secure and safe in

performing their function and topro-

vide quality healthcare services in

Sindh with protection of property,

without fear of harassment/ violence.
