What parents need to know

Mothers often don't know how old they can be with their childyou can be in the hospital. The age of the child does not matter. In the "Fundamentals of the Legislation of the Russian Federation on the Protection of Citizens' Health" in Article 22 this is clearly stated. Parents have the right to know all the information about the treatment of their children:

test results;
appointment procedures;
side effects of drugs.

If the doctor refuses to give the father or motherdetailed information, they have the right to complain about such behavior to the head doctor or call the Department of Health. Doctors do not have the right to independently treat a child without the consent of the parents, except in emergency cases. Therefore, do not be afraid to ask again what kind of medications are given to your child and what is their dosage. If the prescribed treatment does not inspire confidence in the parents, they can request a consultation with another doctor. At any time, the father or mother can write a refusal of hospitalization and take the baby home. But in this case, the parents bear full responsibility for the life and health of the child. When parents know their rights, they feel much more confident. After all, doctors and parents must join forces to get the little person back on his feet. See also:
