So when speaking about the spiritual foundations of patient’s right the medical community is addressed to consider the relevant standards by the medical community. Objectives and Methods: The main goal of this study is to investigate the views of traditional medicine about the patients’ rights, so as some dataset were available in main traditional medicine resources and some could be found in religious books, we designed a study by using the electronic versions of Alhavy (Razes), Kamel al Sanaah (Ahvazi), Canon of Medicine (Avicenna), Zakhireh Khawrazmshahy (Jorjani), Avesta, Bible, Quran and so on. Results: In the past, medical students used to pass some courses before starting the main course, such as jurisprudence, ethics, logic, natural science, geometry, astronomy, etc. Avesta book has emphasized on the necessity of physicians to be experienced and to ask for fees according to income level of people. The Bible has ordered the government to respect the patients’ rights. It has frequently emphasized in all four Bibles to treat and care the patients. In the holy Quran saving one man from any social class, race and religin is equal to saving all the world people’s life. It has also emphasized to exempt the patients from daily activities and obligatory prayers. The main sources of traditional medicine have considered warnings about fake drugs, inexperienced doctors and the need to complete preparation of medical community. Moreover they have prepared guidelines about the correct ways of producing drugs and offering medical services. Conclusion: Based on existing evidence, the patients’ rights before and after Islam has always been as important health training programs in Iran and the other Islamic countries.

Therefore, certain protective-distinguishing policies must be anticipated for this group of people in order to observe equitable procedure standards as well as avoid jeopardizing their general health. In the collection of criminal law especially in law enforcement stage, Iranian legislator has to some extent paid attention to this issue, i.e., in the majority of cases where the accused suffers from a particular physical and / or mental state, this leads not to the annulment of punishment but to a delay thereof until due recovery is obtained. Of course, regulations such as the necessity of unconditioned presence of the lawyers in all stages of proceedings, consideration of the physical condition of the accused during the preliminary investigations and procedures, forbidding the exertion of punishments of any kind regarding the insane accused, etc. are yet to be formulated.

The widespread use of genetic information in improving individual and public health, regarding to its special traits with potential for different interpretations and sensitive and effective outcomes in the future of a patient, his family and the society, simultaneous with keeping patient’s privacy, as a fundamental right which originates from the concept of human dignity, is one of those challenges. The possible utilization of patient’s genetic information in the areas other than therapy and health e.g. employment, provision of insurance contracts (life or health styles), public medical researches as well as in the process of judicial trials, makes it possible to misuse genetic information and raises the fear of change in treatment space into commercial one and ultimately makes genetic privacy as a serious issue in the present societies. With remark to the necessity of patient’s privacy as well as the need of rational and reasonable disclosure of genetic information, we will discuss about the establishment of a balance between private and public interest as well as among different beneficiaries; then the necessity of appropriate legislation and determination of specific criteria, with regard to public education will be emphasized to achieve the goal of patients’ genetic privacy.
