The healthcare industry has become a major service industry, especially in this time of global pandemic, where many healthcare systems have focused on improving their care and understanding patient satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today the patients see themselves as a purchaser of healthcare services. Once this concept is accepted, it is necessary to recognize that every patient has certain rights, which places a special emphasis on the provision of quality healthcare.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
