A Survey of What Healthcare Professionals Consider as Relevant for Decisional Autonomy in Health and Treatment in Nigeria.

Abstract

Our study found a convergence of views by HCPs and the Nigerian Health Act on enabling the decisional autonomy of patients regarding their health and treatment. Competent patients should be given the necessary knowledge about their condition, available diagnosis, and available treatment as well as support to empower them to make truly autonomous decisions regarding their health and treatment.
