Background and aim: Some subject areas of human rights, such as patients' rights, are often treated with greater sensitivity around the world. One of these rights is the "right to privacy of the patient", which has long been respected by individuals and the sensitivities of its protection are increasing every day.
Method: In this article, an attempt is made to answer the research questions using analytical-descriptive research; given the patient's rights and status, what are the requirements for maintaining the principle of "right to privacy"? What are the requirements for observing the principle of "right to privacy" in various legal documents? We have explored this issue in domestic law and international human rights instruments.
Results: According to the international human rights documents, the Iranian domestic law system and the principles and foundations of the right to privacy, the observance of "patients 'right to privacy" can be achieved within the framework of amending the Charter of Patients' Rights.
Ethical Considerations: In collecting information and writing an article, professional ethics, including the principle of fidelity in quoting content, has been carefully and obsessively observed.
Conclusion: "Right to privacy" is one of the most important rights that is closely related to human dignity. The West's short history of upholding this right and the long history of Islam's protection of privacy have led to numerous international conventions and legal instruments that have implicitly or explicitly provided for this right. These documents, as upstream documents, have led to the creation of more detailed and accurate documents called the "Patient Bill of Rights", which are very important. The results show that it is very necessary to review the Charter of Patients' Rights with a view to the principle of "right to privacy".
